jumping
water anwater and ion regulation Collembola
collophore(ventral tube)
Collembola eyes
ocelli
why are protura unique among hexapoda
completely lacking antennae
Collembola Protura and Diplura ijn group called
Entognatha
Insecta eyes
-compound eyes
-often also have ocelli
in insects, mandibles are
ectognathous
