What is an insect? We used __The Webster's New World Dictionary__ to answer this question. An insect has 6 legs and is tiny. They have 2 pairs of wings and 3 body parts.

As you can see insects do indeed have 3 body parts. We used the book below to get our information. We will continue to find out what the body parts do as well as what insect they are researching looks like. They will also find out how insects help and harm us. We are going to compare spiders and insects and clear up any wrong ideas. Keep checking back for more information.

 What do the 3 body parts do?

We used the __**World Book Encyclopedia**__ on Insects to find out what the body parts do.
 * Head: Has the mouthpart, where the insect eats. The eyes to see. Antennae to smell and feel.
 * Thorax: Where the muscles are that operate the legs and wings.
 * Abdomen: Where the food is disgested. Also where reproduction takes place.
