A Collaboration Co-ordinated by Martin H. Villet South Africa has an amazingly rich fauna and flora, and is named by Conservation International as one of the planet's 17 most megadiverse countries. According to their statistics, The country also contains two of the world's " biodiversity hotspots": the Succulent Karoo,

Hexapoda taxonomy, insect taxonomy, physiology, and body pattern. There are a huge amount of body shapes, The secret of the success of the Hexapoda can be linked to the following features: Tagmosis allowing specialisation in each area. Jointed appendages and striated muscles giving efficient locomotion.

Hexapoda taxonomy, insect taxonomy, physiology, and body pattern. These are the Diplura (bristletails), Collembola (springtails), Protura and Thysanura (silverfish). The bristletails and silverfish both have two long cerci, and between this a caudal appendage. The insects in this class have two pairs of wings;

Subphylum: Hexapoda Latreille, 1825 The subphylum Hexapoda (from the Greek for six legs) constitutes the largest (in terms of number of species) grouping of arthropods and includes the insects as well as a few much smaller groups of wingless arthropods closely related to insects: Collembola, Protura, and Diplura.

Hexapods include three orders of wingless arthropods (Collembola, Proturans are very small, Carpenter, F.M. 1992. Superclass Hexapoda.

A large class of arthropods, comprising the insects together with three small related orders. Hexapods all have bodies divided into an anterior head with mouthparts and usually a pair of antennae, The appendages are typical of the Uniramia. This page was last modified on 23 October 2001,
