invertebrates are classified into how many groups?
14058
The Invertebrates unit explores six groups of invertebrates— poriferans (sponges), cnidarians (such as sea jellies and corals), echinoderms (such as sea urchins and sea stars), mollusks (such as octopuses, snails, and clams), annelids (worms), and arthropods (such as insects, spiders, and lobsters).

Crabs and crayfish are crustaceans, a subdivision of arthropods – the large group of animals without backbones (invertebrates) that includes insects, spiders, mites, scorpions and springtails.
1015005
The most familiar invertebrates include the Protozoa, Porifera, Coelenterata, Platyhelminthes, Nematoda, Annelida, Echinodermata, Mollusca and Arthropoda. Arthropoda include insects, crustaceans and arachnids.
137329
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.
146713
Marine invertebrates include crustaceans (such as crabs, rock lobsters and prawns), molluscs (abalone, oysters and scallops), sponges, corals, sea cucumbers and nudibranchs.
443212
Arachnids belong to an even larger group of animals called “arthropods” which also include insects and crustaceans (lobster, crabs, shrimp, and barnacles).
154246
Insects or Insecta (from Latin insectum) are hexapod invertebrates and the largest group within the arthropod phylum. ... Insects are the most diverse group of animals; they include more than a million described species and represent more than half of all known living organisms.
230441
Characteristics such as appearance, reproduction, mobility, and functionality are just a few ways in which living organisms are grouped together. These specialized groups are collectively called the classification of living things.
532230
Sponges, corals, worms, insects, spiders and crabs are all sub-groups of the invertebrate group - they do not have a backbone. Fish, reptiles, birds, amphibians and mammals are different sub-groups of vertebrates - they all have internal skeletons and backbones.
238080
Arthropoda is a phylum of animals that includes many well-known invertebrates such as insects, crustaceans, spiders, centipedes, millipedes and scorpions. ... The distinguishing features of arthropods from other invertebrates are their hard exoskeleton or shell and jointed limbs.
1099248
These phyla are divided into two groups based on their pattern of embryonic development: the protostomes and the deuterostomes. Flatworms, roundworms, mollusks, and annelids are all protostomes.
951457
These specialized groups are collectively called the classification of living things. The classification of living things includes 7 levels: kingdom, phylum, classes, order, families, genus, and species . The most basic classification of living things is kingdoms.
75127
Related Groups at Each Level Over 95% of all animals on the earth are invertebrates of one form or another. ... Over 80% of all invertebrates are grouped into the single phylum Arthropoda that includes spiders, crustaceans, centipedes, millipedes and insects.
799954
Animals can be classified as either vertebrates or invertebrates. Vertebrates are animals that have a backbone inside their body. ... Invertebrates don't have a backbone. They either have a soft body, like worms and jellyfish, or a hard outer casing covering their body, like spiders and crabs.
658329
Arachnids belong to an even larger group of animals called “arthropods” which also include insects and crustaceans (lobster, crabs, shrimp, and barnacles). This is the largest group in the animal kingdom!
246562
Familiar examples of invertebrates include arthropods (insects, arachnids, crustaceans, and myriapods), mollusks (chitons, snail, bivalves, squids, and octopuses), annelid (earthworms and leeches), and cnidarians (hydras, jellyfishes, sea anemones, and corals).

Edited to address the change in the original question (“Why is butterfly considered an insect?”): Insects are classified as animals (as opposed to their being plants, fungi, protists or bacteria of any stripe), so by definition a butterfly, being an insect, is an animal.
