-'''Hexapods''', from the Latin meaning "six feet," are [[arthropod|arthropods]] with six legs.  The subphylum is split into two classes, the large class containing [[insect|insects]], and much more primitive hexapods in the class [[Entognatha]], which include household pests like [[silverfish]].  This second class was created only recently.
