Actually my relative just did a report on the Zebra Swallowtail, which is a butterfly. She also did it about when it was a caterpillar. In order for a caterpillar to be a arthropod, it need to have symmetry bilateral ,(If you cut it in half it looks the same on both sides) It also needs to have a segmented corps, (segments in the butterfly) A hard exoskeleton, Jointed Limbs and last but not least several members. This proves that a caterpillar is not a arthropod, since it does not have a hard exoskeleton.
They belong to the phylum, Arthropoda, which includes insects, Spiders, crustaceans, and more. Their segmented body is bilaterally symmetrical, unlike other invertebrates. If you were to cut an arthropod in half lengthwise, both halves would be similar in shape, size, and components.
There is some question as to the actual number of species in the phylym Arthropoda. Estimates range from 1.7 million to over 10 million. Some claim that over 80% animal species belong to this group.
Yes, butterflies are are insects (Class Hexapoda, formerly Insecta) which are in the phylum Arthropoda
Butterflies have been classified as arthropods because they have a segmented body and an exoskeleton. They also have jointed appendages.
It meets the specific criteria for an insect: 3 body segments, six legs and two sets of wings.
Like all insects, the butterfly is part of the class Insecta. They are part of the order Lepidoptera, which includes both moths and butterflies.
Yes, all insects are.
because it have six legs and it is small.
Insect
All arthropods have an external skeleton- an exoskeleton. Some exoskeletons are hard, like that of a lobster. It is made out of chitin. Some exoskeletons are leathery, like that of a caterpillar. Both types are waterproof. The exoskeleton keeps the animal from drying out. This characteristic gave arthropods the ability to live on land. http://edhelper.com/ReadingComprehension_54_61.html
arthropod
Yes, the butterfly is an arthropod
Scolopendra is an arthropod. It has a pair of poison claws in the anterior end which are modified first pair of legs.
The caterpillar is an arthropod, and all arthroods belong to the taxonomic domain of Eukarya.Eukarya covers all organisms in the Kingdom Animalia, as well as the Kingdoms Plantae, Fungi and Protista.
No, a caterpillar is not considered an annelid. This is because annelids are a large phylum of segmented worms. Caterpillars are usually individual.

Vectors of the arthropod.
No, a caterpillar is an Arthropod. There are over a million types of anthropoids on earth. Here are three things all arthropods have 1. Chitonous 2. Exoskeleton segmented body 3. Jointed appendages
As the arthropod grows up, the exoskeleton sheds in order for the arthropod to grow inside of it.

yes a beetle is an arthropod
The Blowjob arthropod family
A crab is an arthropod.
Yes, a moth is considered to be an arthropod.
