Synopsis
Excerpt from The Insect World: Being a Popular Account of the Orders of Insects, Together With a Description of the Habits and Economy of Some of the Most Interesting Species
IT is not intended here to thoroughly investigate the anatomy of insects; but, as we are about to speak of the habits and economy of certain created beings, it is necessary first to explain the principal parts of their structure, and the stages which every perfect insect or imago has undergone before arriving at that state.
We therefore proceed to explain, as Simply as may be, the anatomy of an insect, and the functions of its organs.
If we take an insect, and turn it over, and examine it carefully, the first thing that strikes us is that it is divided into three parts the head; the thorax, or chest; and the abdomen, or stomach.
The head (fig. L) is a kind of box, formed Of a single piece, having here and there joints more or less strongly marked, some times scarcely visible. It is furnished in front with an Opening - Often very small - which is the mouth; and with others for the eyes, and for the insertion of the antennae, or horns.
