Like all arthropods, they have a segmented body and segmented limbs and a thick chitinous cuticle called an exoskeleton. Chelicerates have two body segments; a cephalothorax and an abdomen. They have no antennae, but have six pairs of appendages.

Mites are not actually insects, but belong to the related class Arachnida, which also includes spiders, scorpi- ons, and ticks. The major morphological differences between mites and insects are found in the number of major body parts and the number of legs.

Insects are distinguished from other arthropods by their body, which is divided into three major regions: (1) the head, which bears the mouthparts, eyes, and a pair of antennae, (2) the three-segmented thorax, which usually has three pairs of legs (hence “Hexapoda”) in adults and usually one or two pairs of wings, and ...

Insects have their skeleton around the bodies not inside them, like the mammals. Structurally, butterflies are like all other insects, but their most important difference is the scale covering on wings and body. Unlike other insects, they also have the ability to coil up their feeding tube, or proboscis.

The four major groups of arthropods – Chelicerata (includes spiders and scorpions), Crustacea (shrimps, lobsters, crabs, etc.), Tracheata (arthropods that breathe via channels into their bodies; includes insects and myriapods), and the extinct trilobites – have heads formed of various combinations of segments, with ...

Scorpions and insects share similarities but possess clear differences. Both belong to the group of animals known as arthropods which have an exoskeleton like spiders, mites, ticks, centipedes, millipedes and crustaceans to name a few. ... Scorpions have eight legs, while insects have six.

Actually they are arthropods, they have a tough exoskeleton and jointed legs, and they are related to insects and crustaceans. Like insects, myriapods have one pair of antennae, but they have many more legs than insects do. ... Myriapods are an ancient group of animals, they were the the very first animals to live on land.

The most distinguishing and prominent feature of Ecdysozoans is their cuticle: a tough, but flexible exoskeleton that protects these animals from water loss, predators, and other aspects of the external environment. All members of this superphylum periodically molt or shed their cuticle as they grow.

Winged ants have noticeably larger wings in the front than the pair in the back. Termites antennae are almost straight where the ant's antennae is elbowed. Termite wings are twice as long as their body. Ant wings are shorter and more proportionate to their bodies.

Arthropods. Crabs, lobsters, shrimp, barnacles and many other animals belong to the phylum arthropods. In fact, 75% of all animals belong to the phylum arthropoda (which also includes spiders and insects). All arthropods have a hard exoskeleton made of chiton, a type of protein.

Determining whether a creature is a vertebrate or invertebrate may not be something you do on a daily basis, but it's worth knowing which creatures are which. The major difference is a backbone: invertebrates lack this bone structure. Spiders happen to be invertebrates, with a slew of their arthropod kin.

Anyway, spiders belong to the Class Arachnida, insects to the Class Insecta. Arachnids are as distant from insects, as birds are from fish. It really is not a trivial distinction!

Invertebrates are animals that don't have a backbone. Some have soft bodies, like worms, slugs and jellyfish. Other invertebrates, like insects, spiders and crustaceans, have a hard outer casing called an exoskeleton.
