Difference between Animal and Insect

Animal vs. Insect

Animals are multicellular eukaryotic organisms that form the biological kingdom Animalia. Insects or Insecta (from Latin insectum) are hexapod invertebrates and the largest group within the arthropod phylum.

Similarities between Animal and Insect

Animal and Insect have 42 things in common (in Unionpedia): Aphid, Arachnid, Aristotle, Arthropod, Bird, Butterfly, Carl Linnaeus, Clade, Crustacean, Devonian, Digestion, Drosophila melanogaster, Ecdysis, Egg, Eukaryote, Exoskeleton, Food and Agriculture Organization, Herbivore, Holocene, Invertebrate, Larva, Mantis, Model organism, Monophyly, Nature (journal), Neontology, Parasitism, Parthenogenesis, Peristalsis, Phylogenetic tree, ..., Phylum, Ploidy, Predation, Protein, Segmentation (biology), Sense, Sexual reproduction, Species, Synonym (taxonomy), Taxon, The Guardian, 10th edition of Systema Naturae.

Exoskeleton

An exoskeleton (from Greek έξω, éxō "outer" and σκελετός, skeletós "skeleton") is the external skeleton that supports and protects an animal's body, in contrast to the internal skeleton (endoskeleton) of, for example, a human.
