Easter eggs, I believe I can fly and 30,000 eyes!
Insects don't have skeletons like the vertebrate animals, instead, they have something called exoskeleton, meaning they skeleton is out of their bodies like an armour!
All adult insects have three body parts: head, thorax and abdomen.
Head: Where their brains, mouthparts and antennae are.
Thorax: That's where wings and legs always are. Spiders, ticks and other arachnids are not considered insects because their body are split in 2 parts only. Insects usually have 6 legs, arachnids have 8.
Abdomen: Contains the largest part of their digestive system!
