The 6,000,000 number was not a particular goal set by Hitler. Hitler wanted to eradicate all Jews in Europe, which would have been roughly 9.4 million Jews. The 6 million number is the number that were actually killed by war's end.
Examples of primitive arthropods might include the trilobite, thought to have made an appearance in the pre-Cambrian period about 500 million years ago. The fossil record indicates they were highly diverse with well over 10,000 species and thrived for over 250 million years, but finally going extinct around the end of the Permian period. Another great example might be the Eurypterid or sea scorpion, a paleozoic arthropod believed to predate the earliest fish. Of those still alive, the peripatus (a genus of the velvet worms) would be a serious contender, primitive in origins and considered the simplest known arthropod, a 'living fossil' dating back 570 million years and thought to be a connecting link between the arthropods and annelids (segmented round worms, like the earthworm).

The end of the Precambrian Eon is marked by the beginning of the Phanerozoic Eon, approximately 541 million years ago. This transition is characterized by a significant increase in the diversity of multicellular life forms and the appearance of abundant fossils in the geological record.
Because, right around that time, there was an explosion of bio-diversity. We don't really know why it happened, but the fossil record shows a sudden evolution of many species of life, seemingly out of nowhere. There is no universally accepted theory for why this happened, and it remains a key unanswered question about life on earth.
There were no bees in the Precambrian Super-Eon. In fact there were no insects of any kind in the Precambrian. It is possible that arthropods (the phylum that now includes spiders, insects, centipedes etc) evolved in the Ediacaran Period, the last geological period prior to the end of the Precambrian but these were not insects. The 1st evidence for insects comes from about 396 million years ago during the Devonian Period some 146 million years after the end Precambrian. It was not until 350 million years ago during the Carboniferous Period that there is any evidence of insect flight. The 1st evidence for bees in the fossil record come from the early Cretaceous Period about 100 million years ago. Bees, like ants are specialised wasps. Bees evolved from wasps of the family Crabrondae to specialise in eating pollen and nectar from flowers. The 1st flowers appeared in the fossil record about 140 million years ago but became widespread about 100 million years ago.
During the Precambrian eon, which spans from the formation of Earth about 4.6 billion years ago to around 540 million years ago, life was primarily simple and unicellular. The earliest organisms were prokaryotic, such as bacteria and archaea, and later, simple eukaryotic cells emerged. Multicellular life began to develop towards the end of this eon, with the appearance of algae and soft-bodied organisms. Overall, the Precambrian eon was marked by significant evolutionary developments, setting the stage for more complex life forms in the subsequent Paleozoic era.
The Precambrian Era ended around 541 million years ago with the Cambrian Explosion, a period of rapid diversification of life forms. This marked the transition to the Phanerozoic Eon, characterized by the emergence of complex multicellular organisms.
The Precambrian Era ended with the beginning of the Cambrian Period, approximately 541 million years ago. This period is characterized by the sudden appearance of a diverse range of complex life forms in the fossil record, known as the "Cambrian explosion".
