Insectas have a chitinous exoskeleton, a three-part body (head, thorax, and abdomen), three pairs of jointed legs, compound eyes, and two antennae. They are one of the most diverse group of animals on the planet and include more than a million species and represent more than half of all known living organisms. Insects move about by walking, flying or occasionally sinking and swimming at the same time.
