[I have corrected the original answer as withrespect to the firstrespondent,it was wrong.] Insects are in the animal kingdom as living organisms that are mobile and sentient.

They are animals because they pass those basic tests of mobility and sentience (not the same as self-awareness). Unlike plants they can react to physical stimuli such aslight and heat by movingto locations closer or further away, and can move to food, shelterand mates.
