Yes, but not all. Only 67 species of insects live in the Antarctic. The ones even living there are mostly less than 2mm long. Many are parasites and lice and collemola (springtails) live there. Some people think that mites are insects, but they are actually part of the spider family (arachnids).

Yes, i think that there is only like 60 kinds though.
