Insects are so common that we hardly spend a day without seeing them. Have you noticed the body of an insect?
Insects have certain common features. Most insects have wings and antennae. The three parts of an insect’s body are the head, thorax and abdomen. The thorax is the middle region and the abdomen is the lower region.
While insects have many similarities, they also come in all shapes, sizes and colours. Insects are extremely diverse in nature. In fact, there are almost one million different species of insects!
One of the most common flying insects is the mosquito. Mosquitoes are considered to be the deadliest animal in the world as they have caused the deaths of millions of people.
Insects are one of the largest groups of animals, with over 7,50,000 species that can be found on Earth. Insects generally have three pairs of walking legs. Some have wings, and some do not. They have a waterproof layer on the outside of their bodies, which helps them to move to environments where other organisms cannot survive.
Some other common insects that can fly are the ladybug, bee, dragonfly and moth.
