Let’s look at the two ladybugs carefully, one on top and one on bottom.
We need to find 3 differences between them.
Step 1: Look at the antennae (the curly things on top of the head).
- Top ladybug: both antennae curl outward (away from each other).
- Bottom ladybug: left antenna curls inward (toward the right), right antenna curls outward.
→ That’s difference #1: The left antenna is curled differently.
Step 2: Look at the spots on the wings.
- Top ladybug: has 7 black spots total — 3 on left wing, 4 on right wing.
- Bottom ladybug: has 6 black spots total — 3 on left wing, 3 on right wing.
→ That’s difference #2: The bottom ladybug is missing one spot on its right wing.
Step 3: Look at the legs.
- Top ladybug: has 6 legs visible — 3 on each side.
- Bottom ladybug: only has 5 legs visible — the middle leg on the right side is missing.
→ That’s difference #3: One leg is missing on the bottom ladybug.
So we found all 3 differences:
1. Left antenna shape
2. Missing spot on right wing
3. Missing leg on right side
Final Answer:
The three differences are:
1. The left antenna curls inward on the bottom ladybug but outward on the top one.
2. The bottom ladybug has one fewer spot on its right wing.
3. The bottom ladybug is missing one leg on its right side.
