The superphylum Arthropoda is divided into two sub-groups. The phylum Mandibulata includes Hexapoda (Insects) and Myriapods (centipedes, millipedes, and their kin).
Arthropods are easily the most diverse group of animals on the planet. The number of insects alone is greater than all the other animals combined. The fossil record shows a similar trend (at least for some groups): the number of trilobite species is greater than 10,000.
