There are 3 pairs of legs attached to the thorax of an insect. There are also typically two pairs of wings attached to the thorax as well.

How has the appendages of arthropods changed over evolution?

The modifications of arthropod appendages has shaped the formation of different groups, such as centi/millipedes, crustaceans, arachnids and insects. The most primitive arthropods are centipedes and millipedes, using all their legs as walking legs. More advanced groups, differing from this ancestral state, modified their walking legs into mouthparts, antennae, pedipalps (arachnids) or flippers (crustaceans, look at a lobster tail). Look carefully at an insect face and you'll see it's a fused mess of segments with the legs still attached! Stick insects and beetles are a good example, other groups have modified their palps (mouth-legs) into unrecognizable structures such as mosquito or butterfly probosci.

What is Insect morphology?

Insect morphology is the study of the form and structure of insects, encompassing their external and internal features. It examines various anatomical aspects, including body segments, appendages, and specialized structures such as wings and mouthparts. Understanding insect morphology is crucial for taxonomy, ecology, and evolutionary biology, as it provides insights into how insects adapt to their environments and interact with other organisms. This field also aids in identifying species and understanding their life cycles and behaviors.
