Insects

Insects are the most diverse group of animals on planet Earth. There are at least a million identified species of insects, and many more which have not been identified yet.

Insects are found all over the planet, some are in extreme conditions.

An arthropod is an invertebrate animal with an external skeleton (exoskeleton) and a segmented body and jointed appendages.

One of the most fascinating aspects of some insects is where they start off as eggs, hatch into caterpillers, and become a chrysalis from which a beautiful and perfectly formed insect emerges! This is known as Holometabolism, or complete metamorphosis.
