Key for exactly three supplied cards: A=ant, B=spider, C=snail. First ask 'Does it have legs?' NO leads to C. YES leads to 'Does it have six legs?' YES leads to A; NO leads to B. Use this fully stated model, not unidentified living animals. A proposed extra card, woodlouse, is specified to answer YES then NO, like B. A key must be tested with every included item.
