Insects are generally considered a specific family in the arthropod order. They are characterized by three body parts, head, thorax and abdomen.
In numerical terms, insects are the dominant life form on earth. More species of insects exist in the world than all other living species combined. The high number of existing insect species means there is always something new to learn.
