Insects are the largest class of animals and over 1 million insect species have been identified. They live everywhere except in oceans. Grasshoppers have a jointed segmented body and exoskeleton with 3 pairs of legs and antennae used for sensing, communication, and navigation. Their body is divided into 3 sections: head, thorax, and abdomen. The thorax contains the legs and wings. The abdomen has spiracles that air tubes connect to for breathing out. Some insects like ants and bees live together socially in colonies, with bees living in hives composed of a queen that lays eggs, drones that fertilize eggs, and workers that care for eggs, feed the queen and drones, collect nectar and
