Insecta needn't always have 3 body segments. Eg, silk worm (Bombyx Mori). Its class is still Insecta, but it has many body parts and legs
ReplyDeleteInsects are invertebrates, meaning that they have no backbone. Most species of insect have a hard outer shell which protects the inside of the insect.
ReplyDelete@ Su En: Silk worm is not a species itself. It is the young of the silk moth which is an insect with 3 body segments.
