Insects also probably have the largest biomass of the terrestrial animals. At any time, it is estimated that there are some 10 quintillion (thatâs 10,000,000,000,000,000,000 for those who like actual numbers) individual insects alive. In the United States, the number of described species is approximately 91,000.
There are about 1018 (10 billion billion) arthropods alive at any one time. There are over three times as many species of arthropods as there are of all other animals on Earth, and there may be millions more that we haven't even discovered. Arthropods do everything with legs or modified legs.
