∙ 14y agoNo, scorpions are not insects. Insects are defined as having a segmented body that is clearly organized into 3 parts: the head, the thorax and the abdomen. Their body is supported by an exoskeleton made mostly of chitin and they have six legs. Insects normally have antenna and some have wings.
A scorpion is an arachnid so they are in the same family as Spiders. The bodies of arachnids are broken down into two parts, the head and the thorax. Arachnids have eight legs and they do not have antenna or wings. There are other differences between the two groups but those are the biggest differences.
