Sure, here's an example of a dichotomous key for insects:
1. Body divided into three segments - head, thorax, abdomen
2. Head is elongated and pointed - go to 3
2. Head is rounded - go to 4
3. Two pairs of wings, long antennae - dragonfly
3. Two pairs of wings, short antennae - damselfly
4. Has wings - go to 5
4. Does not have wings - go to 6
5. Two pairs of wings - fly
5. Four pairs of wings - moth or butterfly
6. Six legs - go to 7
6. More than six legs - go to 8
7. Has two pairs of wings - beetle
7. Has no wings - ant or bee
8. Has wings - cicada
8. Has no wings - centipede or millipede
Note: This is just a simple example and there are many more specific characteristics that can be used to distinguish different types of insects.
