Not at all, butterflies are from the phylum Arthropoda and snails are in the phylum Mollusca.

The snails and butterflies are not in the same phylum. The butterflies belong from the species Arthropods, and snails are from the species Mollusca.

∙ 8y agoNo. Snails are in the phylum mollusca while jellyfish are in the phylum cnidaria.

No because butterflies are from the phylum Arthropods and snails are from the phylum Mollusca. This is because butterflies contain all 4 qualities of an Arthropod and snails contain the following qualities:
.They have tissue level organization
.Coelom in this phylum is reduced.
.It is triploblastic, that means it is made up of three layers of cells.

Snails and Slugs: Phylum Mollusca, Class Gastropoda
Mollusca Gastropoda - Miocene FossilsSource: Wikimedia Commons
Mollusca Gastropoda - Miocene FossilsSource: Wikimedia Commons
The Class Gastropoda (in Phylum Mollusca) includes the groups pertaining to snails and slugs. The majority of gastropods have a single, usually spirally, coiled shell into which the body can be withdrawn. The shell of these creatures is often what is recovered in a fossil dig. Gastropods are by far the largest class of molluscs, comprising over 80% of all molluscs.
The presence of gastropods, at the Pollack site, provides evidence to validate the researchers beliefs that, years ago, the environment was of shallow-water, near-shore locality.
Below are a few notable taxa recovered from the Pollack Farm site.
Gastrapoda:
Turritella cumberlandia
Diastoma insulaemaris
Epitonium charlestonensis
Urosalpinx cumberlandianus
Tritonopsis ecclesiastica
Nassarius sopora
Oliva simonsoni
Inodrillia whitfieldi
