Insects encyclopedia

Explore the 55 Animalpedia species classified as insects: characteristics, diet, habitat, behaviour and conservation status.

Insects are invertebrate animals whose body is divided into three parts — head, thorax and abdomen — and which bear six legs. Many have wings. They have no internal skeleton but a rigid casing that they replace as they grow. They form the most numerous animal group on Earth: bees, ants, butterflies, locusts and ladybirds all belong to it.
