Some things about me and my interests. Insects belong to the phylum Arthropoda.
Many people consider an insect a bug.
These critters vary in range from lobster and crabs to millipedes and spiders. There are currently about 800,000 known species of insects, about 90,000 in the U.S.A. alone. It has been estimated that there could be as many as 9,000,000 different species of insects world-wide. Which means there are probably still a lot of insects not known. Locusts have been reported to migrate in numbers as high as 8 billion.
