Insects Jar Worksheet - Free Printable

To solve this problem, we need to identify which of the animals shown are insects.

Step 1: Understand what an insect is.
Insects are small animals that usually have:
- 6 legs
- 3 body parts (head, thorax, abdomen)
- Often have wings and antennae

Step 2: Look at each animal in the picture and decide if it’s an insect.

Let’s go one by one:

1. Ladybug → Has 6 legs, hard shell, spots → YES, it’s an insect.
2. Seahorse → Lives in water, has fins, no legs → NO, not an insect.
3. Dragonfly → Has 6 legs, long body, wings → YES, it’s an insect.
4. Mosquito → Tiny, 6 legs, wings → YES, it’s an insect.
5. Ant → Small, 6 legs, antennae → YES, it’s an insect.
6. Beetle (right side) → Hard shell, 6 legs → YES, it’s an insect.
7. Sheep → Furry, 4 legs, big animal → NO, not an insect.
8. Pig → Big, 4 legs, snout → NO, not an insect.
9. Grasshopper → Long legs, wings, 6 legs → YES, it’s an insect.
10. Leaf → Not an animal → NO, not an insect.
11. Bee → Stripes, wings, 6 legs → YES, it’s an insect.
12. Fly → Wings, 6 legs → YES, it’s an insect.

Step 3: Connect all the insects to the “Insects Jar”.

The non-insects are: seahorse, sheep, pig, leaf.

All others should be connected to the jar.

Final Answer:
Connect these to the Insects Jar: ladybug, dragonfly, mosquito, ant, beetle, grasshopper, bee, fly.
