By far, the most diverse group of arthropods is the insects superclass. More than 1,000,000 species are known to date!

Runners up are the Chelicerata (Spiders, scorpions, horseshoe crabs, etc) with 77,000 species, and then the Crustacea (crabs, lobsters, etc) with 50,000 species. In last place are the myriapods (centipedes, millipedes, etc) with 13,000 species.
