No, lobsters and spiders are not classified in the same class. Lobsters belong to the class Malacostraca within the phylum Arthropoda, while spiders are classified under the class Arachnida, also within the same phylum. Both belong to the larger group of arthropods, but they are distinct classes with different characteristics and evolutionary histories.
The class Malacostraca is the largest taxonomic class of crustaceans, including familiar species like crabs, lobsters, and shrimp. These animals are characterized by having a hard exoskeleton, jointed limbs, and two pairs of antennae. Malacostraca are found in a variety of aquatic habitats worldwide.
Malacostraca
The phylum is Arthropoda. The class is Malacostraca.
There are six classes of crustaceans. The malacostraca is the largest. Examples of animals in this class include: porcelain crabs, terrestrial crayfish and mantis shrimp.
A crayfish belongs to the phylum Arthropoda and the class Malacostraca.
There are many different types of crab. Crab belong to the Animalia Kingdom, the Anthropoda Phylum, the Crustacea Subphylum, the Malacostraca Class, the Decapoda Order, the Pleocyemata Suborder, and the Brachyura Infraorder.
They are all members of the class Malacostraca within the phylum Arthropoda.
Spider, crayfish, grasshopper, tick, and butterfly all belong to the phylum Arthropoda, which is characterized by exoskeletons, segmented bodies, and jointed appendages. Specifically, spiders are part of the class Arachnida, crayfish belong to the class Malacostraca within the subphylum Crustacea, grasshoppers and butterflies are part of the class Insecta, with grasshoppers in the order Orthoptera and butterflies in the order Lepidoptera. Ticks, like spiders, are also classified under Arachnida.

Yes, shrimp are indeed arthropods. They belong to the class Malacostraca within the phylum Arthropoda, which also includes insects, spiders, and crabs. As arthropods, shrimp have a segmented body, an exoskeleton made of chitin, and jointed appendages. They are primarily found in aquatic environments, both freshwater and marine.
