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.)*
