The Middle East is a loose term, not always used to describe the same territory. It usually includes the Arab countries from Egypt east to the Persian Gulf, plus Israel and Iran. Turkey is sometimes considered part of the Middle East, sometimes part of Europe. Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh are usually described as South Asia.
Insects are the largest group in the animal kingdom. Scientists estimate there are over 1 million insect species on the planet, living in every conceivable environment from volcanoes to glaciers.
Animals are eukaryotic organisms that form the biological kingdom Animalia. With few exceptions, animals are multicellular, motile (able to move), and are heterotrophs (consumers of organic material). Almost all reproduce sexually, and animal embryonic development includes the characteristic blastula stage.
