Chitin


I couldn't seem to find any more bugs after the other two, so this picture of an anthill (before it's destruction) is an example of Chitin. Ants, which are insects, are full of Chitin in the form of their exoskeletons. Chitin is a polymer that is the main factor in determining just how hard the exoskeleton of an insect is.
