Using the main points and examples from the lecture, describe two purposes of insects making sounds.

In this lecture, the professor describes the reasons that insects have for generating sounds that carry messages to their same species. To prove this, the professor gives two reasons for why they produce sounds.
The first reason that insects produce sounds is that they are attempting to alert each other to danger. Small insects that are unable to hunt for themselves produce noises to alert their parents to approaching predators. Once parents hear the sound they know to return and protect their young against predators.
The second reason for producing sounds is in search of food resources. For example, when a group of insects has exhausted their supply of leaves, they will make a noise to alert the entire group that they need to move on and find a new source of food. Similarly, when they find a new source of food, they will alert the entire group by making noises.
Therefore, in this way, insects utilize noises in order to help protect and provide for their species.
