The middle leg of an insect, one of the second pair of legs on the thorax.
An insect has six legs in three pairs, and the midleg is the pair that sits between the forelegs at the front and the hind legs at the back. Entomologists name the pairs separately because each is often shaped for a different job, such as grasping, walking or jumping. The word is written as one term in anatomical descriptions of beetles, bees and flies.
