Why are there so many insects?

Insects have the largest number of species among animals on the Earth. Out of ten different animal species, eight are of insects. They can survive in almost all types of habitats regardless of temperature. Many can survive only in specific environmental conditions, while others are found in all parts of the world. The reason for this difference within the species is not known. Insects have six legs and a body divided into three parts with a solid outer covering called the armour. Many insects are useful (bees which pollinate fruit tree flowers), while others are harmful (plant louse on indoor plants).
