Abstract
The review article describes the ethological defence mechanisms in insects. This group of animals live in all climatic zones and have conquered all the habitats therein. In order not to become prey, insects employ various defence mechanisms - passive and active - or both these forms simultaneously or in a definite order. Because of their great variety, we have focused on passive defence only: the external structure of the body of animals, concealed life (anachoresis), cryptic colouring and body's form (mimetism), imitation of species with abilities for defence (mimicry).
