| definition: |
An insect is a small animal that has six legs, and its body is divided into three parts. These parts are called the "head," the "thorax," and the "abdomen." Many insects have one or two pairs of wings also. Flies, ants, mosquitoes, and bees are some kinds of insects.
Spiders are not insects because they have eight legs, and their bodies are not divided into three parts.
