An insect has six legs, attached to the abdomen.


Ask a child to draw an insect, and you'll learn what they really know about the insect body. Many children will place the insect's legs incorrectly at the abdomen. It's an easy mistake to make, since we associate our legs with the bottom end of our bodies. In truth, an insect's legs are attached at the thorax, not the abdomen.
