Startling Facts About Insects
Anywhere you look, you’ll find one, or maybe a dozen, six-legged critters crawling about. They are a wildly diverse bunch, Insecta, and it includes ants, bees, flies, beetles and so much more. Their body is composed of three segments: head, thorax, and abdomen. All incased in a hard exoskeleton. All insects also have a pair of antenna, compound eyes and three pairs of jointed legs. After that basic body plan, all kinds of amazing behaviors and abilities come to life.
