They reproduce in large numbers and have short generations.

Not every insect breed is succesfull. But I think I know what you want to ask - its because insects live in large group colonies, have millions of babies at one time and their colonies are very well organised, so every unit has their own duties to do. Understood? -Sweetlolly11

Arguably the biggest factor in insects' evolutionary success is their high reproductive rate. They tend to have multiple offspring at once, resulting in high populations. Other factors are their ability to respond to stimuli and the fact that the adults and their young look different.

Almost all of them have wings, so they quickly get into new areas. They've adapted to eat almost everything, so they can survive everywhere as well. They have separate larval and adult stages, often feeding on different things, so there's less competition among themselves. They reproduce in vast numbers.

Because there small, quiet, don't need much to survive, there's 4-6 million species, so reproduction isn't a problem, and they don't have backbones.
