To solve this "Bug Hunt," we need to look at each animal and count its legs. The rule given is that
all insects have six legs. If an animal has a different number of legs (like 0, 8, or 10), it is not an insect.
Let's check them row by row:
Row 1:
*
Snail: It has no legs (it uses a foot to slide). Not an insect.
*
Ladybug: It has 6 legs.
This is an insect.
*
Grasshopper: It has 6 legs.
This is an insect.
Row 2:
*
Ant: It has 6 legs.
This is an insect.
*
Beetle: It has 6 legs.
This is an insect.
*
Spider: It has 8 legs. Not an insect.
Row 3:
*
Dragonfly: It has 6 legs.
This is an insect.
*
Scorpion: It has 8 legs (plus pincers). Not an insect.
*
Mosquito: It has 6 legs.
This is an insect.
Row 4:
*
Butterfly: It has 6 legs.
This is an insect.
*
Crab: It has 10 legs. Not an insect.
*
Bee: It has 6 legs.
This is an insect.
