Insects are invertebrates, which means they have no backbone. Insects have six legs, antennae, and three parts to their body. There are between six and ten million different types of insects.

They can eat plants, other animals, and even blood. Not all insects are pests; some are beneficial to humans and the environment.

Whether you are enjoying the beauty of a butterfly, or swatting away a mosquito, insects are a huge part of our world that can be beneficial or slightly irritating.
