Some other invertebrates, like snails, have soft bodies, but carry a hard shell for protection. These soft-bodied invertebrates that live in water or on land are grouped as mollusks. Besides snails, some other mollusks are clams, mussels, and squid.
Some other invertebrates have tough coatings on the outside of their bodies (exoskeletons), jointed legs, and a segmented body. This group is known as the arthropods. Insects, spiders (arachnids), centipedes/millipedes, and shrimp, lobster, and crabs (crustaceans) are all arthropods. There are more insects (over 900,000 species) than any other group of arthropods. There are more arthropods than any other group of invertebrates. And, considering that 95 percent of all animals are invertebrates, that makes arthropods truly the must abundant group.
One particularly popular member of the insect world is the butterfly. This arthropod, with its tough outer shell, characteristic wings, and antennae, belongs to the insect family.
