Wikipedia
Hexapoda
The subphylum Hexapoda (from Greek for 'six legs') comprises most species of arthropods and includes the insects as well as three much smaller groups of wingless arthropods: Collembola, Protura, and Diplura (all of these were once considered insects). The Collembola (or springtails) are very abundant in terrestrial environments. Hexapods are named for their most distinctive feature: a consolidated thorax with three pairs of legs (six legs). Most other arthropods have more than three pairs of legs. Most recent studies have recovered Hexapoda as a subgroup of Crustacea.

Hexapoda is a large group or subphylum within the phylum Arthropoda, which includes insects and three much smaller groups of wingless arthropods: Collembola, Protura, and Diplura. The term "Hexapoda" denotes "six feet" in Greek, referring to the fact that these organisms typically possess six legs. Hexapods are characterized by their three-part body plan, which includes a head, thorax, and abdomen, the presence of compound eyes, and typically, two pairs of wings. They are considered the most diverse group of organisms on Earth.
