ARP packets usage

I ran Ethereal and captures all packets for 1 minute and 49 seconds.
These are the results I got:

-------------------
Total 503

TCP 353 70.2%
UDP 15 3.0%
ICMP 13 2.6%
ARP 122 24.3%

Running time: 00:01:49
--------------------

Is this a normal ARP packet percentage? It seems a bit high to me.

Thanks,
