There are many more arthropods than other species but bacteria have the most species. Every new species of arthropods discovered have 10-12 new species of bacteria in them.

In the animal kingdom which group has the greatest number of species?
Arthropods, specifically beetles. There are around 350,000 species of beetle discovered so far.
Which phylum has the second most diverse?
The phylum with the second most diverse range of species is Arthropoda, which includes insects, arachnids, crustaceans, and other groups. Arthropods have a wide variety of adaptations and occupy diverse habitats, making them one of the most successful and numerous groups of animals on Earth.
How do you arthropods reproduce?
Arthropods reproduce sexually . Fertilization is mostly internal but in some species it is indirect . In most arthropods fertilization is direct . Most arthropods are oviparous i.e. they lay eggs . Metamorphosis takes place .
What is the largest class of arthropods?
Most species? Insecta, and within that, beetles, by far.
What is the most common animal on earth with 3 body segments that is an invertebrate?
arthropods
What animal has the most species on earth?
Don't think anyone knows which exact species for sure. "Insects" is wrong, as insects are not a single species but is instead an entire class of arthropods, consisting of more than a million separate species.
What vertebrate animal contains the most species?
Fish species
Arthropods make up approximately what percentage of all animals?
75%, and 40% beetles. (beetles are arthropods)
How many types off animals is there in the world?
The animal kingdom is divided into about 30 phyla. The nine largest phyla contain the majority of species. One phyla, the arthropods, which includes insects and spiders, constitutes about 75 percent of all known animal species. More than 900,000 arthropods have been described, and according to some estimates there may be more than five million more. The number of known species for all animals other than arthropods is about 250,000. The largest group within the phyla of arthropods and the most diverse class in all kingdoms, is insects. Over 750,000 have been described. Some suppose that there are perhaps as many as three million different species of insects in the world. The most diverse family of insect is beetles, with over 375,000 types identified. Other large families of insects include butterflies and moths (more than 100,000 species), bees and wasps (more than 20,000 species), and ants (about 10,000 species). With over 30,000 known species, spiders, which are not insects, constitute one of the large families of other kinds of arthropods. Only two other phyla within the animal kingdom, the roundworms and the mollusks, are known to contain more than 100,000 species. All other phyla generally have far less. The dominant phyla on the planet, the vertebrates, consists of less than 50,000 known species. The number of fish species is estimated to be more than 20,000, bird species number approximately 8,700, reptiles about 6,000, mammals about 4,500, and amphibians about 2,500. Within mammals, the rodents are the most varied order, with 34 families and more than 1,700 species.
What are the most diverse group of arthropods?
By far, the most diverse group of arthropods is the insects superclass. More than 1,000,000 species are known to date! Runners up are the Chelicerata (Spiders, scorpions, horseshoe crabs, etc) with 77,000 species, and then the Crustacea (crabs, lobsters, etc) with 50,000 species. In last place are the myriapods (centipedes, millipedes, etc) with 13,000 species.
What is the most successful phylum in the animal kingdom in terms of both number of species and total mass?
The most successful phylum in the animal kingdom is Arthropoda. It includes insects, arachnids, crustaceans, and other groups, with millions of species described so far. Arthropods also have a high total mass due to their abundance and diverse ecological roles.
