Assuming this question is how are insects different from other arthropods, insects fall into hexapods which includes insects, springtails and a few other groups of arthropods with six legs. Insects are different from other hexapods in that they possess a structure called a tentorium which is an internal support skeleton in the head made by extensions of the exoskeleton into the head.

Golly! There are tons of arthropods! Spiders are arachnids, which are arthropods. So are centipedes. Lobsters and crabs (and I think crayfish) are types of crustaceans, which are arthropods. And every insect you ever met, including ants, bees, wasps, and beetles, are arthropods.


What makes crustaceans different from all other arthropods?

Arachnids differ from other arthropods in that they have no antenna (nor wings, like many insects). They also use book lungs to breathe, rather than the gills or spiracle/trachea configuration. They have a body plan of only two sections (tagmata) and eight legs, although often with a modified forward pair different from most other arthropods.
