Invertebrate Diversity and Classification
  1. Invertebrates are the largest contributer to biodiversity
    1. Ametabolous: same physiology throughout life cycle
      1. Subclass: HEXAPODA
        1. CLASS: ENTOGNATHA
          1. ORDER: COLLEMBOLA (Springtails)
            1. ORDER: PROTURA
              1. ORDER: DILPURA (2:tails)
