Yes, in fact lobsters do have a substance that is called chitin on their exoskeleton and buterflies contain that substNCE ALSO
Chitin is the polysaccharide that is found in the exoskeleton of crabs, lobsters and insects. It is a derivative of glucose and is comparable to the polysaccharide cellulose.
Lobsters are crustaceans, and chitin is the hard polysaccharide substance that makes up the outer shell (exoskeleton) of crustaceans. Chitin also makes up the exoskeletons of other arthropods (insects, etc.). It helps to strengthen the cell walls of fungi and the shells of mollusks as well.
composed of chitin
Chitin is the polysaccharide that gives the insect's exoskeleton the resistance to bending resulting in breaking or cracking. It is also a prime compound and component found in the shells lobsters, crabs, and other shellfish.
An arthropod is an organism characterized by segmented bodies, an exoskeleton made from chitin, and joint appendages. Examples include spiders, millipedes, lobsters, crabs.

they have an outer coat which is very strong and they have sharp claws

Chitin is a structural carbohydrate that forms their exoskeleton
Yes. Lobsters, like other arthropods, have an external skeleton called an exoskeleton. By contrast us mammals have an internal skeleton. The lobster exoskeleton is made of a hard protein, chitin, which provides them with structure and acts as armor.
The exoskeleton is made of chitin, a polysaccharide.
