	Label the Beetle
	by Enchanted Learning

Print out the coloring picture of the beetle and add labels to the following:

Abdomen	the segmented tail area of a beetle that contains the heart, reproductive organs, and most of the digestive system

Antenna	like all insects, beetles have 2 segmented antennae

Compound Eye	a faceted eye made up of many hexagonal lenses

Elytron	(plural elytra) elytra are hardened fore wings that protect the longer hind wings

Head	the head is at the front end of the beetle's body and is the location of the brain, the two compound eyes, the mouth parts, the pharynx (the start of the digestive system), and the points of attachment of its two antennae.

Hind Wing	beetles have two hind wings, used for flying (or swimming). These long wings can be folded under the elytra when not in use.

Legs	like all insects, beetles have 6 jointed legs

Mandibles	the jaws

Maxillary Palps	long, segmented mouth parts that grasp the food

Thorax	the middle area of the beetle's body - where the legs and wings are attached
