| + | Insects are within the subphylum Hexapoda, which is characterized by three pairs of legs. Most other arthropods have more than three pairs of legs. Hexapods include three orders/classes of wingless arthropods (Collembola, Protura, Diplura), as well as the class insecta. Insects are extremely diverse and excel over all other animals both in abundance (+/- 1,000,000 spp.) and biomass ( > 50 %). | ||
