Why are there so many insects?

few reasons. Insects multiply very fast. Most females lay up to 200 eggs in a lifetime. A queen termite can lay more than 30,000 eggs a day! Insects can survive the most difficult conditions on Earth. You can find insects at the North and South Poles and at the equator, in deserts and in jungles, under the ground and high in the air—and almost everywhere in between. Insects are small. This means that each one needs little food and can easily hide from its enemies.
