Let's solve the problem step by step based on the worksheet.

---

Task:

1. Circle the insects.
2. Find and cross out the reptile.

---

Step 1: Understand what an insect is.

The worksheet gives a definition:
> "Insects are tiny animals with hard bodies, 2 antennae, and 6 legs. They often have wings."

So, to identify an insect, look for:
- 6 legs
- 2 antennae
- Hard body (usually)
- Often wings

---

Step 2: Analyze each animal in the image

Here are the 8 animals shown:

1. Ant
- 6 legs ✔
- 2 antennae ✔
- Hard body ✔
- No wings (but some ants do have them; this one doesn’t)
→ Insect ✔

2. Pigeon (bird)
- 2 legs ✘
- No antennae ✘
- Feathers, not hard body
→ Not an insect

3. Butterfly
- 6 legs ✔
- 2 antennae ✔
- Wings ✔
- Hard body (exoskeleton) ✔
→ Insect ✔

4. Goldfish
- Lives in water
- Fins, not legs
- No antennae
→ Fish, not an insect

5. Ladybug
- 6 legs ✔
- 2 antennae ✔
- Hard shell (elytra) ✔
→ Insect ✔

6. Bee
- 6 legs ✔
- 2 antennae ✔
- Wings ✔
- Hard body ✔
→ Insect ✔

7. Mosquito
- 6 legs ✔
- 2 antennae ✔
- Wings ✔
- Hard body ✔
→ Insect ✔

8. Snake
- No legs ✘
- No antennae ✘
- Slithers, cold-blooded
→ Reptile ✔

9. Camel
- 4 legs ✘
- Mammal
- Warm-blooded
→ Mammal, not an insect

Wait — there are only 8 pictures, but we listed 9? Let’s recount.

Looking at the image layout:

- Row 1: Ant, Pigeon, Butterfly
- Row 2: Goldfish, Ladybug, Bee
- Row 3: Mosquito, Snake, Camel

That’s 9 images — but the instruction says “There is one picture of a reptile.” So let’s double-check.

Actually, snake is the reptile.

Now, which ones are insects?

Let’s list them again:

1. Ant → Insect ✔
2. Pigeon → Bird ✘
3. Butterfly → Insect ✔
4. Goldfish → Fish ✘
5. Ladybug → Insect ✔
6. Bee → Insect ✔
7. Mosquito → Insect ✔
8. Snake → Reptile ✘
9. Camel → Mammal ✘

Wait — that’s 8 animals, but we have 9 labeled? Let's count visually:

- Top row: 3
- Middle row: 3
- Bottom row: 3
→ Total: 9 animals

But the instructions say “There is one picture of a reptile.” So only one reptile.

Let’s identify:

- Snake → Reptile ✔
- Camel → Mammal
- All others → Not reptiles

So, snake is the reptile.

(These all have 6 legs, 2 antennae, hard bodies)

- Insects must have 6 legs, 2 antennae, and a hard body. Many also have wings.
- The snake has no legs, no antennae, and is a reptile (cold-blooded, scaly skin).
- The camel is a mammal, so not an insect or reptile.
- Birds, fish, mammals are not insects.
