Description
What makes an insect an insect? Is it a very small, many-legged creature that flies? That’s a good way to describe some insects, but others, such as ants, never take to the air at all. And just how many legs do insects have? A beetle has six legs and spider has eight–are these both insects? Knowing whether or not an animal is an insect can be tricky, but What is an Insect? makes solving the puzzle fascinating and fun.
Introduces the physical characteristics, life cycle, movement, egg-laying, and feeding of a variety of insects.
