The insect body is divided into three parts: the head, thorax, and abdomen. [2] The head is specialized for sensory input and food intake; the thorax, which is the anchor point for the legs and wings (if present), is specialized for locomotion; and the abdomen is for digestion , respiration , excretion , and reproduction.

The wings, head parts of thorax, and abdomen of Lepidoptera are covered with minute scales, from which feature the order Lepidoptera derives its names, the word lepidos in Ancient Greek meaning "scale". Most scales are lamellar (blade like) and attached with a pedicel, while other forms may be hair like or specialised as secondary sexual ...

There are 32 individual parts labelled, which would be much less legible at thumbnail size (and thus have less EV) if given the full names rather than the numbers. We've already featured numerous images with numbers instead of words (in the diagram section, mostly). — Crisco 1492 16:46, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
Insects have a chitinous exoskeleton, a three-part body (head, thorax and abdomen), three pairs of jointed legs, compound eyes, and a pair of antennae. Insects are the most diverse group of animals, with more than a million described species ; they represent more than half of all animal species.
What they look like: Chiggers, a type of small mite, typically leave clusters of bites that are often very itchy. In many cases, chigger bites appear as small, red and itchy bumps. Sometimes, they ...
In some insect pupae, like the mosquitoes', the head and thorax can be fused in a cephalothorax. Members of suborder Apocrita (wasps, ants and bees) in the order Hymenoptera have the first segment of the abdomen fused with the thorax, which is called the propodeum .
