Insects belong to a class under phylum Arthropoda.

Members of class Insecta are definitely adapted for living on land.

The chitinous exoskeleton helps insects to prevent loss of water from body.
Three pair of legs help them to do a lot of things to live actively in their environment: they can walk, run, crawl, hop, climb, hold and can also hang.
Insects breathe air, even those which are living in water; for which they have spiracular openings and branched tubular tracheae .
As insects live on land they must conserve water, hence there is excretion of semi solid uric acid rich nitrogenous waste product.
Then there are insects with wings.
Insects are absent mainly in saline water.
