How many insects per human being?

Answer:
At any given moment, it has been estimated that the insect population is 10^18 or

1,000,000,000,000,000,000

and

The global population is

6,730,609,019

We can estimate there are 148,574,965.09 insects per human.

Hope that helps,

10,000,000,000,000,000,000 insects (one extra zero) http://www.si.edu/Encyclopedia_SI/nmnh/buginfo/bugnos.htm

and for a current estimate of world population http://www.census.gov/ipc/www/popclockworld.html

based upon the accuracy of the available measurements, we can say that there are between 150 million and 1.5 billion insects for every man, woman, and child.
