Abstract
Insects form the largest class of the phylum Arthropoda. There are at least one million known species, so more than 50% of all existing organisms on earth are insects. It is even thought that at least another million insect species have not yet been discovered. Insect-like forms inhabited the terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems about 300 million years ago and their basic features have been so successful that they were able to exploit almost every available habitat except the true marine environment, which is occupied by their arthropod “cousins”, the Crustacea.
