      there’s 300 tonnes of insects for every tonne of human on the planet.

      and each insect weighs very little!

      there are between 10,000,000,000,000,000 and 100,000,000,000,000,000 ants on the planet

      Insects.
      James had already given a very good reason.

      Dear science lad,
      Thanks for this fabulous question
      Off course they are insects. More than one million different species of insects have been identified, but some experts believe that there may be as many as 30 million insect species in the world that have yet to be discovered and identified.
      At any time, it is estimated that there are some 10 quintillion (10,000,000,000,000,000,000) individual insects alive.

      Hope it is clear
      Thanks
      Ahmed
