Insects
Insects are the largest class of arthropods and have distinct features including 3 pairs of jointed legs, a pair of antennae, an exoskeleton, segmented bodies, and often times they have 1 or 2 sets of wings. With an estimate of 10 quintillion insects (thats a lot of zeros) worldwide, you can find these arthropods nearly everywhere.
Insects play an important role in the ecosystems you find them in. They can decompose organic matter, pollinate plants, and serve as a source of food.
Common insects include Flies, Crickets, Mosquitoes, Bees, Butterflies, and Beetles.
