Insects are ectothermic, meaning their body temperature is largely dependent on the external environment. As the outside temperature fluctuates, their metabolic processes, activity levels, and behaviors adjust accordingly. This adaptation allows them to thrive in diverse climates, but it also makes them vulnerable to extreme temperature changes, which can impact their survival and reproduction. Consequently, insects often seek shelter or alter their behavior to maintain optimal body temperatures.

It will have noticeable middle (thorax) and end (abdomen) body regions as well as three sets of jointed, segmented legs.
