On which segment of an insect's body are legs and wings typically attached?

Legs and wings are typically attached to the thorax of an insect. The thorax is the middle segment of an insect's body, situated between the head and the abdomen. It serves as the primary location for locomotion, housing the muscles necessary for movement. Each of the three segments of the thorax (prothorax, mesothorax, and metathorax) contributes to this function; specifically, the mesothorax and metathorax usually bear the wings, while all three thoracic segments have legs attached. This anatomical design allows for efficient movement and flight, which are vital for an insect's survival and ecology.
