The most numerous of all animals living in
the
 rainforests
are the invertebrates, which number in the millions and still
wait to be classified. Ants play an important role in the
forest, living often together in a symbiotic relationship with
trees. Beetles abound and often individual tree species have
their own species of beetles. Spiders, butterflies, walking
sticks, praying mantis, wasps, etc., all play an important
role in the forest.
The rainforest is also home to a wide range
of birds, which often are important seed dispersers along with
mammals. |
