It&#8217;s a diverse group of animals that include insects, crustaceans, arachnids, and millipedes. They represent 84 percent of all known species and inhabit every possible habitat.

They have <strong>3 pairs of legs<\/strong> that attach to the thorax. These legs are jointed and flexible and they allow ants to walk and climb at astounding speeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their heads also contain modified appendages.
