Insects

Insects are the most successful animals on the planet!

If you’re an insect, your body is made up of 3 parts: a head, a thorax and an abdomen. Insects have six legs attached to their thorax.

Many insects have wings also attached to their thorax. You can find out more about them on the DK Find Out Insects and Insects (School Run).

Interesting Fact: There are over 800,000 different types of insect on planet Earth! How amazing is that!
