Insect thermoregulation refers to the mechanisms and behaviors that insects use to maintain their body temperature within a suitable range, despite fluctuations in environmental temperatures. Unlike mammals and birds, which are endothermic (warm-blooded) and can generate their own heat, most insects are ectothermic (cold-blooded) and rely on external sources to regulate their body temperature.
