WHAT ARE INVERTEBRATES?

List of Invertebrates




Invertebrates are the most diverse organisms present on earth. Almost 95% of the animal populations are of the invertebrates. Based on the International Union regarding Conservation of Nature at the time of 2009 more than 1.3 million invertebrates were identified. Invertebrates make up around 75% of the recognized species on Planet. 

The actual number of invertebrates is unknown, there are several predictions that there may be tens of millions of invertebrates, majority being the insects. New species of invertebrates are being discovered regularly, another worrying fact is that there is insufficient information about these organisms, the invertebrates might be going extinct and the scientists would never know that they even existed. 

Below are a list of invertebrates - 

Crustaceans, Centipedes, Ants, Wasps, Spiders, Locusts, Honey bees, Termites, Cockroach, Grasshoppers, Crickets, Stick insect, Mantis, Crabs, Sponges, Starfish, Unio, Leeches, Earthworms, etc.
