About Insects (Class Insecta)
Insects are the most diverse group of animals on Earth, representing more than half of all known living organisms. With over a million described species (and millions more still undiscovered), they are found in nearly every habitat on the planet.
Characterized by their three-part bodies, six legs, and often wings, insects play crucial roles in ecosystems as pollinators, decomposers, and food sources for other animals. From the beautiful butterflies to the industrious ants, the world of insects is fascinating and incredibly diverse.
Some of the major insect orders include:
- Coleoptera (beetles): The largest order, with over 400,000 species
- Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths): Known for their colorful wing patterns
- Diptera (flies): Two-winged insects including houseflies and mosquitoes
- Hymenoptera (ants, bees, wasps): Many social species with complex behaviors
- Orthoptera (grasshoppers, crickets): Known for their jumping abilities and sounds
