Given the recent interest in insect illustration, a summary of the obvious insect parts is presented to assist the artist with both an understanding of the parts and their relationship to each other. Photos and illustrations of a variety of insect anatomy is provided.

David Ruiter has been involved in insect taxonomy, with a particular focus on the caddisflies (Insecta: Trichoptera), for over 30 years.
