Does an insect have a head and the thorax and the abdomen?
We describe an insect's body as head, thorax and abdomen. That means something like "head, chest and belly".In much the same way as humans, crocodiles, and dogs are built, the chest or "thorax" of an insect is between the belly and the head.In fact, the word "thorax" applies to the human body as well; we speak of thoracic surgery, the thoracic cavity, and thoracic vertebrae for example.
How many segments are there in a honeybees body?
The answer to this is probably a little more complicated than you may expect.The egg hatches into a larva which, like the worm-like ancestors of insects, has 19 body segments. Each segment has the potential to produce two appendages. After the pupa is fully grown it pupates, during which time it changes into the adult form. In this metamorphosis the segments change their shape and some fuse together, and some grow their appendages.The first six segments form the head and fuse together fully. The appendages form the mouth parts and the antennae.The next three segments fuse and form the thorax and the appendages are the three pairs of legs. The next segment forms the petiole -- the narrow waist between throax and abdomen -- and is fused to the thorax.The remaining nine segments form the abdomen, and the appendages of the eighth and ninth segments form the components of the sting in females, and the claspers in males (males have no sting). However, you only see seven of the nine segments because segments eight and nine are much reduced in size and are telescoped inside the seventh abdominal segment.
