Summary
 

Stop and consider the millions of different animal species on our planet. Which ones are the most diverse and abundant? The arthropods.

More than a million species in this phylum have been catalogued, and taxonomists think that millions more have not yet been classified. Arthropods live throughout our plant— on land, in the soil, and in both fresh and marine water.
