Let’s solve this step by step.

We are looking at the “Label the Monarch Butterfly” worksheet. There is a picture of a monarch butterfly with blank boxes pointing to different parts of its body. Below the image, there is a word bank with these words:

- head
- antenna
- proboscis
- thorax
- abdomen
- leg
- hindwing
- forewing
- wing veins
- eye

Our job is to match each label to the correct part on the butterfly diagram.

Let’s go one by one, using what we know from the “Anatomy of the Monarch Butterfly” chart (top right) as our guide.

1. Top left box → points to the front top part of the butterfly’s body → that’s the head

2. Box below that → points to the long thin feelers coming out of the head → those are the antenna

3. Box near the mouth area → points to the coiled tube used for drinking nectar → that’s the proboscis

4. Box just behind the head → points to the middle section where wings and legs attach → that’s the thorax

5. Box at the back end → points to the rear section of the body → that’s the abdomen

6. Box pointing to the small jointed appendage under the thorax → that’s a leg

7. Box pointing to the lower/back wing → that’s the hindwing

8. Box pointing to the upper/front wing → that’s the forewing

9. Box pointing to the lines inside the wing → those are the wing veins

10. Box pointing to the round spot on the head → that’s the eye

Now let’s double-check against the anatomy chart to make sure we didn’t mix anything up.

Head – yes, front part
Antenna – two long feelers
Proboscis – curled feeding tube
Thorax – middle body segment
Abdomen – back body segment
Leg – attached to thorax
Hindwing – lower pair of wings
Forewing – upper pair of wings
Wing veins – lines in the wings
Eye – on the side of the head

All labels match correctly.

Final Answer:
From top to bottom, left to right (based on typical layout of such diagrams):

Left column (top to bottom):
- head
- antenna
- proboscis
- thorax
- abdomen

Right column (top to bottom):
- eye
- forewing
- wing veins
- hindwing
- leg

*(Note: Exact position may vary slightly depending on how the blanks are arranged in the original image, but based on standard labeling and the provided word bank, this is the correct matching.)*
