Many people think that spiders are insects but they are mistaken since insects have six legs and three main body parts. Most insects have wings. Arachnids belong to an even larger group of animals called “arthropods” which also include insects and crustaceans (lobster, crabs, shrimp, and barnacles).

Insects, along with all arthropods, have segmented legs and hard outer layers called exoskeletons. Unlike some other arthropods, insects typically have six legs, two antennae, and a body segmented into three sections (head, thorax, and abdomen). Insects comprise a lot of the creatures you tend to think of as bugs.

Arthropods are invertebrates with segmented bodies and jointed limbs. The exoskeleton or cuticles consists of chitin, a polymer of glucosamine.

Insects have three main body segments: the head, thorax and abdomen. They have six legs, one or two pairs of wings and specialized mouth parts. Insects have nervous and digestive systems, as well as an exoskeleton, a hard skeleton on the outside of their body.

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.

Arthropods can be grouped as shredders, predators, herbivores, and fungal-feeders, based on their functions in soil. Most soil-dwelling arthropods eat fungi, worms, or other arthropods.

The defining traits of insects are having six legs, an exoskeleton covering the body, and an adult body with three segments (the head, thorax, and abdomen). Most insects also have wings, but not all of them. So there you go, insects are animals, and they form a group called a class within the kingdom Animalia.

There are seven characteristics of living things: movement, breathing or respiration, excretion, growth, sensitivity and reproduction. Some non-living things may show one or two of these characteristics but living things show all seven characteristics.
