I know you didn't say that exactly, but that's how I interpreted it I get it now - the 28 days in each month isn't a metaphor, it's an exact example (ie, all insects have 2 legs.... and 4 more ). Thanks for clarifying

[dms172]

i think this might help. if it has 6 legs then it also has 4 legs and also has to legs

[Guest]

Is it a spider?

[Guest]

Is it a spider?

If it's an insect then it can't be a spider. Spiders are arachnids.

[Guest]

Oh gosh, this is quite hard...looked easy at the beginning though <_<

hmm...Does it live on land?

[Guest]

stil awaiting yes no to some Qs

some info for others

Other terrestrial arthropods, such as centipedes, millipedes, scorpions and spiders, are sometimes confused with insects since their body plans can appear similar, sharing (as do all arthropods) a jointed exoskeleton. However upon closer examination their features differ significantly; most noticeably they do not have the six legs characteristic of adult insects.

Spiders are in two parts where as an insect is in three, Head Thorax and Abdomen

Teeth - I am a bit concerned about??

[Guest]

[Guest]

not sure that you should get one back - but I have already indicated we will go to 21 Questions.....

[Guest]

I want to state that insects are not animals. This is not a question. The premise was flawed

Not even sure how to reply - On a scientific Level:

The living members of the kingdom Animalia are divided into approximately 36 smaller groups called phyla singular phylum.

One of which, the Arthropoda is of particular interest to us. This phylum contains the hard shelled, jointed legged animals and is further divided into four smaller groups called classes.

They are:

Crustacea, things like prawns, crabs and woodlice;

Myriapoda, centipedes, millipedes and the like;

Chelicerata (Arachnida), spiders, scorpions and harvestmen e.t.c.;

Uniramia (Insecta), things like beetles, bees and flies.

Now the uniramia or insecta are divided into 29 even smaller, though still pretty large groups called orders such as:

Diptera, Flies;

Coleoptera, Beetles;

Phasmida, Stick-Insects;

Dictyoptera, Cockroaches and Praying Mantids;

Hymenoptera, Wasps, Ants and Bees

Lepidoptera, Butterflies and Moths;

Or Simply - In twenty questions we start with Animal, Vegetable, or Mineral - Where would you classify an insect?

[Guest]

Until you have the answer we can not challenge that - whats your definition of an Animal?

[Guest]

Or Simply - In twenty questions we start with Animal, Vegetable, or Mineral - Where would you classify an insect?

I would say an animal that is Vegetarian (mostly) and contains minerals -

lol! Very detailed, I love it. This brings me back to entomology class.

[Guest]

and I always thought that Cockroaches and Mantids were in Orthoptra with Grass Hoppers....

[Guest]

#15 does it primarily fly? (as opposed to hoping, walking, tunneling, or swimming)
