Insect

Discover the incredible diversity of insects — the most successful group of animals on Earth.

With over a million known species, insects outnumber every other animal group combined — and scientists estimate millions more await discovery. Their success comes from remarkable adaptations: compound eyes that see ultraviolet light, wings that evolved independently from any other animal group, and exoskeletons that double as armour and support. Many undergo complete metamorphosis, transforming from caterpillars into butterflies or from grubs into beetles. This collection also includes spiders, ticks, and other small arthropods — creatures with superpowers like silk-spinning, venom delivery, and the ability to survive being frozen solid.
