Explanation
Insects are a class of invertebrates within the arthropod phylum. They are characterized by a three-part body (head, thorax, and abdomen), three pairs of jointed legs, compound eyes, and often wings. Insects represent the largest and most diverse group of animals on Earth, with over a million described species.

About Homeostasis
Homeostasis maintains a stable internal environment through the kidney and urinary system, thermoregulation and excretion. The kidney topics include filtration, selective reabsorption, urine formation and water balance, while thermoregulation involves sweating, vasodilation, vasoconstriction and hormonal control; excretion is different from egestion, which removes undigested food.
