Insect anatomy in depth
Insect anatomy in depth: compound eyes made of thousands of tiny lenses, spiracles (breathing holes along the body), diverse mouthparts (chewing mandibles in beetles, sucking proboscis in butterflies, sponging pad in flies), and moulting the exoskeleton to grow. Biomimicry — how engineers copy insect designs.
Typical age: 9–11 years
