species.
One phyla, the arthropods, which includes insects
and spiders, constitutes about 75 percent of all
Go known animal species. More than 900,000
arthropods have been described, and according to
some estimates there may be more than five million
Bottom of Form more.
The number of known species for all animals other
than arthropods is about 250,000.
111,724 questions The largest group within the phyla of arthropods and
asked the most diverse class in all kingdoms, is insects.
384,316 replies Over 750,000 have been described. Some suppose
that there are perhaps as many as three million
different species of insects in the world.
Archives The most diverse family of insect is beetles, with over
375,000 types identified.
Other large families of insects include butterflies and
moths (more than 100,000 species), bees and wasps
(more than 20,000 species), and ants (about 10,000
species).
With over 30,000 known species, spiders, which are
not insects, constitute one of the large families of
other kinds of arthropods.
Only two other phyla within the animal kingdom, the
roundworms and the mollusks, are known to contain
more than 100,000 species. All other phyla generally
have far less.
The dominant phyla on the planet, the vertebrates,
consists of less than 50,000 known species. The
number of fish species is estimated to be more than
20,000, bird species number approximately 8,700,
reptiles about 6,000, mammals about 4,500, and
amphibians about 2,500.
Within mammals, the rodents are the most varied
order, with 34 families and more than 1,700 species.
