Small creatures and creepy-crawlies, sentence 4

Some fall apart when you simply count: a spider has eight legs and two body parts, so it isn't an insect, and a seven-spot ladybird has seven spots its whole life, so spots aren't birthdays.

Who acts: Some, you, spider, spot ladybird, spots · What happens: fall apart, count, have, not be · To what, where: eight legs, insect, seven spots, birthdays

The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
