Abstract

Studies of insect nervous systems have lagged behind other internal morphological studies for various reasons, the more obvious of which are: the understanding of external morphology remains incomplete; techniques for staining and dissecting nervous tissue have not been fully developed; dissections are time consuming; associations of various nerves between different insect taxa are very difficult; and until the past two decades, the importance of the insect nervous system has been considered insignificant in applied entomology .
