≡Insects in abundance
The insects are now, for a long time, the most diverse animals on the planet, with more than a thousand species cataloged and estimated, suggesting that the real number may exceed 10 thousand
They represent approximately 80% of all known animal species, which means that for each human being, there are hundreds of thousands of insects all over the world. Its diversity is impressive, from small forms and flies to colorful bubbles and majestic dragonflies.
The reason for this diversity is due to various factors, including the exceptional adaptation of insects to all of Earth's environments, from tropical forests to the most arid deserts. Also, its ability to evolve quickly, its small size and its short life cycles favor abundant multiplication.
Insects play essential roles in the ecosystem, as pollinators, decomposers and even as a food source for many other species. Let us be fools, life on Earth as we know it would be deeply affected. However, many insects are still poorly studied, and continuous research is crucial to better understand their functions and importance in the maintenance of global biodiversity.
