(1) Insects seem as indestructible as(2) they are innumerable.

Most (3) experts say

that one (4) reason for this is their (5) ability to adapt to different (6) environments. Some

(7) insects can live in icebound (8) streams while(9) others prefer hot(10) springs that may

reach 50C. Their small (11) size also accounts for their continued (12) survival. Some North

American (13) insects measure one one- hundredth of an inch, and that size makes (14)

them hard to see and even harder to exterminate. But their amazing (15) power to

reproduce contributes most to their (16) durability. Generally, these prolific (17) creatures

can reproduce several (18) times during one (19) season. (20) Many lay enormous (21)

numbers of eggs. (22) Few can surpass a fertile queen (23) termite, which may lay 30, 000

(24) eggs in a single twenty-four hour (25) period.
