This is probably basic, but I had always thought that there was something like 1200 species in the world. Just picked up a book out of the library which estimates 8 or 9,000. I now have a bet on with a friend with a good bottle of wine at stake. Can someone enlighten me. I spent hours last night going through books at home but could not find a figure.
