Insects have an exoskeleton, but the attachment points for their muscle bundles are located internally. These muscles are typically attached to the inner layers of their exoskeleton.

The strength of insect muscles comes from the interwoven muscle fibers. Their muscular system is also intricately distributed. For example, their wings are controlled by five muscle groups located in different parts of their body, resembling points on a pentagon. This allows insects to not only flap their wings up and down but also diagonally or at an angle, enabling them to adapt to wind from any direction.
