Insects
Insects (from Latin ') are pancrustacean hexapod invertebrates of the class Insecta. They are the largest group within the arthropod phylum. Insects have a chitinous exoskeleton, a three-part body (head, thorax and abdomen), three pairs of jointed legs, compound eyes and one pair of antennae. Their blood is not totally contained in vessels; some circulates in an open cavity known as the haemocoel. Insects are the most diverse group of animals; they include more than a million described species and represent more than half of all known living organisms. The total number of extant species is estimated at between six and ten million; In: potentially over 90% of the animal life forms on Earth are insects. Insects may be found in nearly all environments, although only a small number of species reside in the oceans, which are dominated by another arthropod group, crustaceans, which recent research has indicated insects are nested within. Nearly all insects hatch from eggs. Inse ...

Hystrichopsylla Schefferi
''Hystrichopsylla schefferi'', also known as the mountain beaver flea and giant mountain beaver flea, is a parasitic nearctic insect belonging to the order Siphonaptera, the fleas. With an adult body length of as much as , it is the largest living flea in the world, and is native to the American Northwest. Though most members of the genus ''Hystrichopsylla'' are not strongly associated with any particular host animal and will parasitize insectivores and rodents generally, ''H. schefferi'' is monoxenously associated with the mountain beaver with which its range is coterminous. The fleas of the family Hystrichopsyllidae, along with the family Pulicidae, are the oldest of fleas in evolutionary history. ''H. schefferi'' can be distinguished from the very similar and closely related species '' Hystrichopsylla gigas dippiei'' by the number of spines in the pronotal comb, as ''H. g. dippiei'' has 36 and ''H. schefferi'' has 46.
