Insects are definitely members of the animal kingdom. The animal kingdom is broken down into groups called Phyla. The Phylum insects are classified in is Arthropoda (root words arthro- (joint) and pod- (foot or leg) meaning "jointed leg"). Insects are further classified in Subphylum Hexapoda (root words hexa- (six) and pod- (feet or leg) meaning "six legs") and Class Insecta.
Other arthropods include Subphylum Chelicerata with Class Arachnida (Spiders and scorpions), Class Merostomata (horseshoe crabs), Subphylum Myriapoda with Class Chilopoda (centipedes) and Class Diplopoda (millipedes), Subphylum Crustacea with Class Malacostraca (lobsters, crabs, shrimp), just to give a few examples.
