Some species have wings. They are an extremely diverse group, with up to 10 million species. Arthropods are invertebrate animals with a chitinous exoskeleton, segmented bodies, and jointed legs. The phylum Arthropoda contains numerous taxonomic orders in over 20 classes.
Arthropoda is the largest animal phylum with the estimates of the number of arthropod species varying from 1,170,000 to 5~10 million and accounting for over 80 percent of all known living animal species. [35] [36] One arthropod sub-group, the insects, includes more described species than any other taxonomic class. [37]

In July 2016, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) listed 4069 least concern arthropod species. [1] Of all evaluated arthropod species, 43% are listed as least concern. The IUCN also lists 27 arthropod subspecies as least concern. No subpopulations of arthropods have been evaluated by the IUCN. This is a complete list of ...
Many of the species have conspicuous aposematic (warning) colours and patterns, such as red with black spots, that warn potential predators that they taste bad. Most coccinellid species are carnivorous predators, preying on insects such as aphids and scale insects. Other species are known to consume non-animal matter, including plants and fungi.
The subphylum Hexapoda (from Greek for 'six legs') or hexapods comprises the largest clade of arthropods and includes most of the extant arthropod species. It includes the crown group class Insecta (true insects), as well as the much smaller clade Entognatha, which includes three classes of wingless arthropods that were once considered insects: Collembola (springtails), Protura (coneheads) and ...
