Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
Answer:
Insects are hexapods, which means they have six legs. Centipedes and millipedes, however, have way more legs, and they fall into a different category called myriapods.
Tarantulas, black widows, wood ticks, and scorpions are arachnids. While they might seem similar to insects, they have eight legs, which sets them apart. Pillbugs are crustaceans, making them more like distant relatives of lobsters and crabs rather than insects. They also don't have the six-leg characteristic of insects.
Leeches and earthworms are segmented worms known as annelids. They are quite different from insects, as they lack both legs and the distinctive body structure of insects. Insects and these creatures come from separate branches of the animal kingdom.
So, even though these creatures might share some similarities with insects, such as crawling around on land, their body structure and leg count clearly set them apart from true insects.
