How do insects walk on six legs?

Easily. They move the front and back right legs at the same time as the middle left leg. Then they switch, moving the front and back left legs and middle right leg. This way they’re always balanced on three legs. Each of their six legs has five parts. Muscles attached to the thorax move the legs. Does it sound complicated? Be glad you have only two legs to worry about!
