Insects are invertebrates, which means they don’t have backbones (vertebrae). They are part of the phylum Arthropoda. They are the biological class Insecta. Some people call all insects “bugs”, but this is not correct. Only some insects are true bugs, which is a special group of insects.

Insects are the biggest group of animals on earth, and there are more than 800,000 different kinds (or species) of them. There are often new species of insects being found, and scientists think there are millions of species people have not found yet. There are more insects than all other kinds of animals.

Insects live all over the planet, but not many insects live in the oceans or in very cold places, such as Antarctica. The most kinds of insects live in tropical areas.

The science of insects is called entomology, and people who study insects are called entomologists.
