Anteaters and armadillos are not classified with insectivores because they belong to different taxonomic groups with distinct evolutionary lineages. Anteaters are part of the order Pilosa, while armadillos belong to the order Cingulata. Insectivores, on the other hand, are primarily classified within the order Eulipotyphla, which includes animals like shrews and moles. The dietary habits of anteaters and armadillos, although they may consume insects, are not the defining characteristic for their classification.
