| ...ustorum reach lengths of 3.7 - 4.3 mm, while males range from 3.8 - 4.6 mm. Their bodies are elongated and the males are slenderer than the females. Plagiognathus arbustorum vary in colour from light olive brown to almost black. The head, front of chest and first two antennae segments are usually dark. The head is small, shorter than it is wide and strongly inclined backwards. The chest has a bright posterior. The chest and front wings are covered with dark hairs. The legs are yellowish. A very useful identifying characteristic is the black, vertical lines on the thighs, which can also be found on the larvae. The lower part of the legs are covered with large,... | | |

The body of the bee - as normally is the case with all insects - comprises three parts: head, chest, abdomen. The facial features include - eyes, two sensors which serve as a nose, mouth and mouth parts comprising two strong mandibles (jaws) and a proboscis. There are two pairs of thin wings and six legs attached to the chest. But the largest part of the body, the yellow-black ‘ringed’ abdomen with the poisonous sting, is the hallmark of the bee. Bees with poisonous stings are part of the Aculeata group. | | |

Beetles’ bodies are significantly different to other insects’ in that they do not solely comprise head, chest and abdomen. The second section consists solely of the prothorax, of which only the neck shield on top of the body is evident. The remaining two sections of the chest, together with the abdomen, form one unit, which is overlaid by the first pair of wings (the cover wings).
Beetles can vary enormously in size ranging from 170 mm in length (Titan beetle in Brazil) to lengths of 0.5 to 75 mm (European species)... | | |

They have a dark head with large, oval, dark red compound eyes and short, strong, dark sensors. Their chest is slightly hairy. At the rear edge of the scutellum areoften a number of curved spikes, hence the family name "soldier flies". Their halteres are whitish in colour, their legs are long and yellow and their feet are dark. The abdomen of t...
...ts. This also protects them against dehydration. At the end of their abdomen are the remains? of a breathing tube which was not used and is therefore atrophied. The larvae have respiratory openings (stigma/spiracles) which are always open. On the chest (prothorax) the respiratory openings are very big in size. The larvae overwinter. They pupate in spring, in a hardened larval skin. The adult flies leave this through a T-shaped slit. | | |

The compound eyes are blue-green in the males and olive-green in the females. The chest section is mottled yellow to green and has black markings (base colour). Two yellow stripes are visible on the upper surface and sides of the chest. | | |
| | Dragonflies can reach wingspans of 20 - 190 mm. Their bodies vary widely in terms of colouration. The head is completely separated from the chest and is therefore very flexible. Between the very large compound eyes are 3 simple eyes. The rear chest segments (mesothorax and metathorax) are strongly built. They can use their two nearly identical pairs of large wings independently in flight and can therefore abruptly change direction. They can hover at one point in the air and even fly backwar... | | |
| | The head is orange-red at the front. The antennae are long and threadlike and the first 3 segments are brownish red. The other segments are black. The mouthparts (mandibles) are red in colour, as also as parts of the neck. The front part of the chest is orange on the upper surface (neck plate). There is a black spot in the middle of the chest that can run right up to the front or rear edge. | | |

What is common to all insects is the highly visible breakdown of the body into three parts: head, chest and abdomen; and the presence of three pairs of legs. | | |

The larvae look like caterpillars, but have real legs on the chest and abdomen segments. A fork placed on the last abdomen segment also serves the movement of the larvae.
Some examples of Mecoptera are: snow scorpionflies, hangingflies and species of the the Panorpidae. | | |
| | Bombus pascuorum | | Bombus pascuorum is a very common bumblebee. It is one of the colony building insects. The head, chest and back are brown in colour with the abdomen of some insects being bright or dark. The queens reach a body length of up to 22 mm, and the drones, up to 18 mm while the workers are considerably smaller. The Bombus pascuorum can be found in meadow... | | |
