The typical anatomy of an insect consists of a segmented body supported by an
exoskeleton, and a hard outer covering made mostly of
chitin.
The body is divided into three sections: Ahead, Bthorax, and Cabdomen. The head supports a pair of sensory
antennae,
compound eyes, and a
mouth. The thorax has six
legs (one pair per segment) and wings (if present). The abdomen has
excretory and reproductive structures.
