I found this to be very interesting and was shocked to read that 18,000 new species are being described each year and in 2007 75% of those were invertebrates. Our teacher took the class on a field trip and we got the chance to see some of these amazing species. The hole class was in shock that their were so many species that have not been identified or named yet.
