The number of insects on earth is very much. There are about ten million species that continue to be investigated its existence. Even this number will continue to rise with the increase of new species species that have not been given a name.
Animals classified into this insekta class are about eight hundred thousand spisies already classified. Among them is the species of nation (order) dragonfly or Odonata there are five thousand species.
The grasshopper or Orthoptera there are five thousand species. Nations of butterflies and moths or Lepidopetra about one hundred and seventy species.
Flies or Dipetra there are one hundred and twenty species. Then the nation of ladybirds or Hemiptera eighty thousand species. Three hundred and sixty thousand species of beetle or Coleoptera and the ants and the Hymenopetra are a hundred thousand species.
The spread of these small animals varies. But most live on land and perairaan such as rivers, lakes or semisalnya. And only a small part lives in the sea.
Can be said that this animal is very adaptable. Thus his ability to reproduce is very high. Because of its ability to adapt very high to make this feasty animal is very agile even able to avoid predators with flying capabilities.
As for who is not equipped with the ability to fly the animal is equipped with poison attached to the body and the ability to hide behind the hole. It's amazing, is not it?

Development of Insects (Metamorphosis)
Development or metaphorosis is a process of animal development in this case is an insect involving physical changes from birth to hatching and becoming perfect.
Almost all insect species have perfect metaphorphosis. The cycle process starts from the eggs then the larvae turns into pupa and becomes adult (imago).
Among the orders we have mentioned above that undergo a process of perfect metaphorosis in general winged insects include the order Coleoptera, Hymenopetra and Diapetra.
The other orders do not undergo a process of perfect metaphorosis. Because in this order there is no stage kemompong (pupa). Only experienced 3 stages of eggs hatch into nymph and develop into imago.
