Hexapoda is the scientific name for a group of animals that's mainly insects (Insecta) but also a few others such as springtails that are nearly insects but not quite. Hexa = six, poda = legs!
The phylum of the class Hexapoda is Arthropoda. Hexapoda refers to insects, which are characterized by having six legs. Arthropods are a diverse group of invertebrates with jointed limbs and a hard exoskeleton.
Yes.
Hexapoda (I may be wrong though).
No. Insects are the the subphylum hexapoda and millipedes are in myriapoda.
Insects belong to the class Insecta in the phylum Arthropoda.
ants are in the hexapoda family. hex means six so they have six legs whoopey!
The Hexapoda subphylum has a couple classes, Insecta with all the insects, and Class Entognatha, which have mouthparts retracted into the head; below which are significantly smaller wingless groups: Collembola, Protura, and Diplura. Some of these groups were formerly classified under Insecta. Partly based on recent research, there is still debate about classes under hexapoda, some models will show up to four sub groups including those of uncertain classification.
Actually centipedes are not insects at all. Centipedes belong to the subphylum Myriapoda while insects are in the subphylum Hexapoda.
This organism would belong to Hexapoda.
Houseflies belong to the subphylum Hexapoda within the phylum Arthropoda. Hexapoda is a diverse and highly successful group of organisms that includes insects. This subphylum is characterized by having six legs, which is a defining feature of insects. Houseflies are a common example of insects and are part of the order Diptera, which includes flies and mosquitoes.
Phylum Arthropoda ==> Hexapoda ==> Insecta ==> Odonata (dragon/damselflies). Within Odonata, dragonflies are Anisoptera, damselflies are Zygoptera.
Dragonflies are in the phylum arthropoda, and within that they are nested into Hexapoda, and then further into the Insecta group, where they can be found within the infraorder Anisoptera.
