Insects Rule!According to MSN's Encarta Encyclopedia,

"For sheer variety and abundance, insects rank among the most successful animals on Earth. About one million species of insects have been identified so far, which is about half of all the animals known to science."

Some scientists estimate that there are over two-hundred million insects for every human on the planet.
