This printable worksheet helps students identify the main body parts of a butterfly using a fun cut-and-paste word bank.

Let’s solve this step by step.

We are labeling the parts of a butterfly using the word bank on the right:
- thorax
- antennae
- head
- wings
- abdomen
- proboscis

Look at the butterfly drawing and match each line to the correct part:

1. The top box points to the two long, thin things sticking up from the head → those are the antennae.
2. The box pointing to the front round part of the body → that’s the head.
3. The curly tube coming out of the mouth area → that’s the proboscis (used for drinking nectar).
4. The big colorful flaps on the back → those are the wings.
5. The middle section between head and tail → that’s the thorax (where legs and wings attach).
6. The bottom long section behind the thorax → that’s the abdomen.

Now let’s assign them in order based on where the lines point (going clockwise or as labeled):

Top left box → points to antennae
Middle left box → points to head
Bottom left box → points to proboscis
Bottom center box → points to thorax
Bottom right box → points to abdomen
Right side box → points to wings

Wait — let’s double-check with standard butterfly anatomy:

- Antennae: on top of head ✔
- Head: front part ✔
- Proboscis: curled mouthpart under head ✔
- Thorax: middle body segment, connects to wings and legs ✔
- Abdomen: rear body segment ✔
- Wings: attached to thorax ✔

So matching the boxes:

Starting from top left and going down the left side, then bottom, then right:

Top left → antennae
Middle left → head
Bottom left → proboscis
Bottom center → thorax
Bottom right → abdomen
Right side → wings

Yes, that matches.

Final Answer:
Top left box: antennae
Middle left box: head
Bottom left box: proboscis
Bottom center box: thorax
Bottom right box: abdomen
Right side box: wings
