Insect report

Do you know what an insect is, of course you but do you know that that all insects have 6 legs and 3 three body parts? If you want to know more facts read this report.

Have you ever seen a lady bird and  noticed it's hard shell? That is called a exoskeleton. An exoskeleton is a very hard shell that most insects have and it protects the insect from being eaten other animals. Did you know that lady Bug shell opens up and its wings come out.

There is lots of different animals in the insect group like bees, ants, butterflies, ladybugs and that is just some of them.You know how I said that most insect have three body parts that is what I’m going to tell you about. On this diagram you can see the three body parts the head, thorax and abdomen. The head has antennas. Insects use their antennae like we use our noses to smell stuff. Insects have a thorax to hold everything together, its hold its wings,  its feet and its head. The abdomen does not have as much use as the head and the thorax but is does help the insect to walk or move and its make an insect an insect because all insect have them.

Now for some fun facts to finish this report off. Did you know that bees do a little wiggle dance to tell other bees that there is flowers. Did you know that ants can lift 10! Times the amount of their body weight
