Any guesses on which insect has made it as high as 19,000 feet (Mt Logan in Washington)? or who regularly travels at 14,000 ft? or how many bugs are stacked over your head on a summer day?
 | *Arthropods are the most diverse life form on the planet. *There are over 970,000 known species-out of an estimated 4 to 5 million. *Of the 1.9 million recognized species, over ½ are insects!!! The other ½ of lifeforms/species include non-insect arthropods, other invertebrates, plants, fungi & lichen (and finally) vertebrates. *It is estimated that arthropods outnumber humans by as much as 250 million to 1. Did you know? only 1% (about 10,000 species) of known insects are considered pests. |
