To date, scientists have cataloged about 1.5 million species of organisms on our planet, and insects make up two-thirds of this haul, the researchers wrote in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Insects are often frowned upon by humans, but they play a huge role in our world, and 90% of all living things are insects, so they are very important.
The most important function of insects is to help break down organic matter. They are also the most important pollinators of ecologically and economically important plants.
All that aside, insects are not something you want to see around you, especially in your home.
