Why are slugs and spiders not insects?

Answer 1

All insects are animals. However, a spider is not an insect. Spiders are in a class called Arachnids. All insects have a pair of antennae, 6 legs, and 3 main body parts (tagmata): the head, thorax, and abdomen. Spiders have no antennae, 8 legs, and 2 tagmata: the cephalothorax and the abdomen.

Answer 2

Because they do not have the features of an insect (plus insects are mainly creatures that fly or crawl.)

Insects are defined as having a chitinous exoskeleton, a body that is segmented into three parts, a pair of antennae, compound eyes and three jointed legs. Slugs and spiders do not share all of these traits with insects. Slugs are gastropod mollusks and spiders are arachnids.

Spiders and ticks belong to a group called ARACHNIDS. All insects have 6 legs, spiders and ticks have 8 legs. Insects and arachnids both belong to the group ARTHROPOD.
