Critically endangered (CR) species face an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild. As of July 2016, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) listed 195 critically endangered insect species, including 46 which are tagged as possibly extinct. [1] [2] Of all evaluated insect species, 3.2% are listed as critically endangered ...
There are 538 insect species which are endangered or critically endangered. Additionally 1702 insect species (28% of those evaluated) are listed as data deficient, meaning there is insufficient information for a full assessment of conservation status. As these species typically have small distributions and/or populations, they are intrinsically ...

Between 950,000–1,000,000 of all described animal species are considered insects, so over 50% of all described eukaryotes (1.8 million species) are insects (see illustration). With only 950,000 known non-insects, if the actual total number of insects is 5.5 million, they may represent over 80% of the total, and with only about 20,000 new ...
