What lobster class do butterflies belong to?

The question isn't correctly phrased... Butterflies and lobsters both belong to a phylum called. "Arthropoda", which means they both have an exoskeleton, a segmented body, and jointed appendages. Both creatures, however, are from separate classes. Lobsters belong to a class called, "Malacostraca", which is a subset of crustaceans with a wide diversity. Butterflies belong to a class called, "insecta", which all have a chitinous exoskeleton, a three-part body, three pairs of jointed legs, compound eyes and one pair of antennae.

What is a lobsters defence?

The primary defensive feature in lobsters would be their behavior - avoidance of predators; they hide in crags or bury themselves in silt, or otherwise hide. This is especially important after they shed. A mottling or other coloration effects help. When confronted, they can use their claws to attack, or implement a flight reflex called the caridoid escape reaction by compressing their tail (abdomen) to swim backwards. There are also social defence behaviors, where they can group to increase mutual safety.
