There are about 950,000 species of insects known but estimates range as high as 2-10 million which means that there are probably many species not yet known which have probably gone undetected so far in perhaps more remote parts of the world.

There are at least 900,000 species, but many more probably have yet to be discovered. Insects all have bodies consisting of a head, a thorax of three segments, usually three pairs of legs and often one or two pairs of wings. Their heads have compound eyes and long antennae that are sensitive to touch and smell.
