Insects are not a species. Insects are are a class of invertebrates within the arthropod phylum. That is like asking if mammals are the most numerous species. Your question needs to be refined.

Do 95 percent of known species have bones?

No. Many animal species have an exoskeleton or no skeleton at all. The huge amount of animals that fall into these two categories makes it impossible for 95% of known species to have bones. Insects make up over half of the known species. Insects have an exoskeleton and do not have bones like humans and other vertebrates do. Since more than 50% of species are insects and therefore have an exoskeleton, it is impossible for more than 50% of species to have bones.
