How do most insects cool themselves?

Most insects cool themselves primarily through behavioral adaptations rather than physiological processes. They often seek shade, burrow into the ground, or remain inactive during the hottest parts of the day to reduce exposure to heat. Some insects also use mechanisms like evaporative cooling, where they increase water loss through their cuticle or by actively drinking water. Additionally, certain species may spread their wings or alter their body position to enhance air circulation and reduce body temperature.
