what countries have no insects?

Answer 1

I guess Antarctica, but I don't know if that's a country or a continent. Perhaps both? Anyway, I think that and maybe Greenland are the only places without insects.

Answer 2

Generally, insects can only "function" in temperatures above 55 degrees F. That is to say that in nature, countries or continents that have temperatures below this temperature CONSISTENTLY do not have insects running around in the wild.

However, many insects have the ability to be frozen, held in suspended animation, until the temperature allows them to function again. Lady bugs are known for being bale to be stored frozen for moderate period of time and then thawed out when needed.

Other insects in high elevations, like one related to the common potato bug, seek shelter during cold nights to freeze over, and then thaw to forage food during the day.

That said, if there is a human presence, which usually calls for transport of supplies, an insect will most likely stow away in the luggage or cargo and eventually make it to climate where they can operate.

So, to answer the question, if a "country" is defined as "a politically organized body of people under a single government", then it's most likely insects are benefitting from the people therein and there is no country that doesn't have insects.

Answer 3

My Encyclopædia Britannica says :

"Insects are adapted to every land and freshwater habitat where food is available, from deserts to jungles, from glacial fields and cold mountain streams to stagnant, lowland ponds and hot springs. Many live in brackish water up to 1/10 the salinity of seawater, a few live in seawater, and some fly larvae can live in pools of crude petroleum, where they eat other insects that fall in."

And even Antartica (South Pole) has insects :

"The largest land animal in Antarctica is an insect, a wingless midge, "Belgica antarctica", less than 1.3cm (0.5in) long. There are no flying insects (they'd get blown away), just shiny black springtails that hop like fleas and tend to live among penguin colonies." (CoolAntarctica.com)

"Insects and Arachnids - Springtails, mites, the midge Parochlus steineni (the only winged insect native to the Antarctic), and others." ("Antarctica: Animal Printouts", Enchanted Learning)

"Compared to other regions, insects are scarce and small in Antarctica. Only 67 species have been recorded, and most are less than 2 mm long. Most of them are parasites, like lice which live in the feathers and fur of birds and seals, where they are protected from the harsh climate for much of the time. Collemola (springtails) are the only free-living insects. They feed on algae and fungi, and remain dormant in winter." ("Insects" in "Antarctica", Life on Antartica)

Answer 4

North Pole and South Pole does not have any insect.
