<p><b>New page</b></p><div>==2. What are the distinguishing characteristics of an insect?==<br />
Insects possess segmented bodies supported by an '''exoskeleton''', a hard outer covering made mostly of chitin. The body is divided into a '''head, a thorax, and an abdomen'''. The head supports a pair of '''sensory antennae''', a pair of '''compound eyes''', and mouth parts. The thorax has '''six legs''' (one pair per segment) and wings (if present in the species). The abdomen (made up of eleven segments some of which may be reduced or fused) has respiratory, excretory and reproductive structures.</div>FuzzyBot
