Insects have segmented bodies divided into a head, a thorax and an abdomen. The head carries a single pair of antennae at the front and a pair of compound eyes on the side. The thorax is made up of three segments, each with a pair of jointed legs. The wings, if present, are attached to the thorax and usually consist of two pairs the forewings and the hind wings. The abdomen, at the rear of the insect, has 9 11 segments, each with a pair of breathing holes (spiracles) on the side. How do bees get to school? by school buzzzzz!
