Answer:Some insects will eat their partner after mating, such as the Preying Mantis and the Black Widow Spider. Other animals, such as lions, have been known to kill offspring from the same species if it is not their own progeny. While still in the womb the tiger-shark will eat its siblings before being born, and many monkeys, while the same species, will kill other monkeys from rival troupes.

Humans kill their own species.

Why can insects adapt to pesticidesquickly give two reasons?

One reason is that the life cycle of most insects is very short. There may be 1-15 generations in a year (As opposed to 1 every 14-20ish years in humans). Another reason is many insects have hundreds to thousands of offspring every reproductive cycle. Let's assume we're talking about an insect with 10 generations per year, that they exist in a 1:1 male to female ratio (which is common in insects), that each mating pair can produce 1,000 eggs and that we start with 1 mating pair. At generation 1, we have 1 mating pair. These 2 insects make 1000 babies. At Generation 2 we have 500 mating pairs (1000/2 because of 1:1 ratio). These 500 mating pairs make 500x1000 (500,000) babies. At Generation 3, which isn't even 6 months into the first year, we have 250,000 mating pairs that have 250000x1000 babies. Since each egg may contain mutations, you can see why insect populations can evolve quickly.

How do insects make baby insects?

Mating of a female and a male to produce eggs that hatch into newborns is the way that insects make baby insects. The mating may be one-time, as in the case of Luna moths that lack mouthparts and live a little more than a week in order to breed and deposit orphaned eggs that will hatch into orphaned larvae termed caterpillars. It tends to be more frequent in southerly than in northerly habitats.
