An ectothermic insect is an insect that relies on external sources to regulate its body temperature. This means that their body temperature is dependent on the temperature of their environment. Ectothermic insects can adjust their behavior to bask in the sun to warm up or seek shade to cool down.

An insect that cannot regulate its body temperature. The body temperature is determined by, and often the same as, the surrounding environment. :)
