Insect morphology is the study of the physical structure and form of insects. It examines various body parts, including the head, thorax, and abdomen, as well as appendages like wings and legs. Understanding these structures helps scientists classify insects and understand their functions and adaptations in different environments. Key features of insect morphology include the exoskeleton, which provides protection and support, and the segmentation of the body, which allows for flexibility and movement. Insects also exhibit diverse mouthparts, such as chewing, sucking, or piercing, adapted to their feeding habits and ecological roles.
