    FALSE!

    If the 6 “limbs” include the specialized limbs on its head, then the Easter Bunny is not an insect because the 6 legs on an insect come out of its thorax.

    This means…the Easter Bunny is an alien! I’m on to you alien sympathizer!

      Who is to say what’s part of the thorax and what not? There are other instances of insects having a thorax that looks divided. In some insects (I think it was beetles) most of the “abdomen” is actually their thorax and so forth…

        Ah! But insects are defined by having 3 body segments: head, thorax, and abdomen. Regardless of the size of each segment, all 3 exist in their adult form. And! All insects have their 6 limbs coming out of their thorax. No record exists of an insect with limbs coming out of their head.

        I’m onto you alien sympathizer 🤨
