A group of scientists observing animal behavior in a forest found a population of insects that they have never seen. The scientists collected a few insects to take back to their lab. How should the scientists use taxonomy to identify the insects?
The scientists should research insects that have been identified by other scientists to find similarities with the collected insects.
The scientists should observe the life cycles of the insects for several generations to record any changes to the population over time.
The scientists should give the insect a species name in a genus that has other insects with similar characteristics.
O The scientists should give the insects a common name similar to other insects with similar characteristics.
