Items related to What is an Insect?
What makes an insect an insect? Is it a very small, many-legged creature that flies? That's a good way to describe some insects, but others, such as ants, never take to the air at all. And just how many legs do insects have? A beetle has six legs and spider has eight--are these both insects? Knowing whether or not an animal is an insect can be tricky, but What is an Insect? makes solving the puzzle fascinating and fun.

What do you think an insect is? Perhaps you think it is a very small animal with lots of legs. Well, this is close, but how many legs does it have? Six? Eight? Or more?
Maybe you think that insects are very small animals with lots of legs that can fly. That is a better way of describing an insect because all of the very small, many-legged flying animals that you see are insects.
