R-strategists are organisms that grow exponentially only to keep the population growing. These type of organisms do not have as long as a life span as K-strategists. Their environment is very unstable and their characteristics are sped up rapidly. It is as if these organisms want to super size everything. So, I put a picture of ants. Insects are typically R-strategists. For instance, all of the ants in the photo are probably .001% of the whole ant population in Brentwood. That's a lot of ants. Mice and mosquitos are r-strategists.
