The odds are a lot worse than that:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insect

Insects (Class Insecta) are a major group of arthropods and the most diverse
group of animals on the Earth, with over a million described species—more
than half of all known living organisms[2][3]—with estimates of undescribed
species as high as 30 million, thus potentially representing over 90% of the
differing life forms on the planet.[4]
