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.
Believe it or not, there are about 950,000 species of insects. No one knows for sure how many species of animals exist on Earth. In fact, some 10,000 species of animals are discovered each year, with over one and a half million species already described. Projections for the total number of species on Earth range from 2 million to 50 million.
