Check leg attachments and occlusion in an adult-insect diagram without counting antennae or wings as legs.

An illustrated guide may label six legs while showing only five because of occlusion; not every line beside the body is a leg either. Read an explicitly adult-insect structural diagram, preserving natural-history references separately from image evidence. Do not identify species from leg count alone or assume automatic biological recognition in ManYue.

## Fix organism stage and diagram scope

Choose an authorized page explicitly identifying an adult insect and record work, edition, chapter, position and labels. Invent a beetle outline with head/thorax/abdomen, three leg pairs on the thorax and one far-side middle leg hidden by the body. This is a teaching structure, not universal appearance across stages. Larvae, reduced legs and injury require separate references. Preserve unknown stage rather than imposing the model on caterpillar prolegs, arachnids or fantasy characters.

## Read the caption before counting strokes

References place a typical adult’s three leg pairs on the thorax. Preserve caption claims separately from simplification in the drawing. Copy pair count, attachment and schematic scope, then list only visible appendages rather than marking six observed from a caption. Distinguish head antennae, wings and legs by attachment, shape and label, not elongated strokes alone. Overlap can combine outlines; stroke count is not appendage count. Each counted leg needs a locatable attachment or traceable path.

## Record near and far sides

List near/far front, middle and rear positions, marking visible, partial, evidenced occlusion or unknown. Page-left is not automatically the animal’s left; state orientation. The sample’s six-leg structure and five visible legs coexist because a far middle leg is explicitly hidden. A real image without attachment or adjacent evidence cannot convert a missing position into confirmed occlusion. Six slots organize checking without proving six observed legs; unknowns remain valid.

## Trace attachments rather than tips alone

Trace visible tips back to body attachment without counting bent segments as separate legs. Forks or bristles do not add legs; simplified joints need their stated limits. Record crossing and layering evidence without drawing an unseen complete far-side path. Zoom reveals existing lines, not missing attachments. Preserve antenna/leg alternatives where unresolved and inspect head/thorax boundaries and leaders rather than symmetry expectations.

## Keep reference structure separate from artistic depiction

For five visible attachments but a six-leg caption, record the difference and check cropping, simplification, injury or explanation. Reference anatomy cannot make an undrawn line observed; style does not eliminate all checking either. Identify a concrete claim and location rather than judging an entire work. Record intentional anthropomorphic or fantasy design under its own identity, not real taxonomy. References frame questions; findings remain tied to the actual material and claims.

## Compare full and occluded original diagrams

Create an external original full-six view and a copy with the same far middle leg occluded, keeping other positions fixed. This demonstrates visibility, not a modified publication proving its author correct. Structure stays constant while visibility changes; changing the label alone is no control. Describe the hidden side and position precisely rather than missing a leg. The control does not establish occlusion as the explanation for every real discrepancy; it identifies needed evidence.

## Restore caption and whole body when details are unclear

Return from isolated lines to the whole body and orientation before inspecting attachments. Cropped hind regions require an insufficient-scope label, not generated completion or a substitute photograph. Check stage differences before alleging error, and record misleading leaders separately from anatomy. Share necessary authorized details and locators, preferring your own control over restricted pages. Preserve unknowns instead of inventing legs to fill six slots.

## Recheck structural, visible and unknown counts after returning

Leave the reader and return to caption, attachments and occlusion, separating reference count, observed count and unresolved positions. The sample is six structural, five visible and one explicitly occluded; real images get only evidenced states. Retain stage, source, orientation and individual evidence separately from the original. Completion explains differing counts without inventing anatomy, not identification of every six-line shape as an insect or scientific taxonomy from app zoom.

Checked on November 9, 2026: [Apple public version information](<https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=6753895889&country=cn>) lists ManYue 2.0.4, requiring iOS / iPadOS 15.0 or later. Feature scope follows the [official App Store description](<https://apps.apple.com/cn/app/id6753895889>) and the installed version. This article provides reading and checking methods you can perform; it does not claim step-by-step physical-device or private-server testing. Manual records, external tools and actually visible controls are identified separately, and personal analysis or code observations are not presented as verified automatic capabilities.

For the concept or external-tool scope, see [University of Kentucky: Insect Basics](<https://entomology.mgcafe.uky.edu/content/insect-basics>). Samples, checking sequences and observation records here are original reading exercises. External references establish no new automatic recognition, editing or inference in the app and do not replace checking the actual file or passage.
