Bees, wasps, ants, butterflies, moths, flies and beetles belong to what animal phylum?

• Correct Answer: cephalopods
• insects
• crustaceans
• arthropods

Explanation: Many arthropods have extremely important roles in ecosystems. Arthropods are of ecological importance because of their sheer numbers and extreme diversity. As mentioned above, bees, wasps, ants, butterflies, moths, flies and beetles are invaluable agents of pollination. Pollens and grains became accidentally attached to their chests and legs and are transferred to other agricultural crops as these animals move about, either by walking or flying. Most plants actually produce scents to send signals to insects that food (in the form of nectar) is available.
