Creepy-Crawlies

Bumble Bee, Spider, Ladybird, and Cockchafer

The term "insect" is derived from the Latin "insectum" = "notched" which refers to the tripartite body of insects. More than 60% of all animals are insects. It is estimated that there is a diversity of more than 1,000,000 species worldwide. Except for oceans insects live everywhere. "Creepy Crawly", however, is not a zoological term and is commonly used for small animals crawling or creeping, e.g. spiders and beetles. Hence, an insect can as well be a creepy-crawly.
