Animals that lack a vertebral (spinal) column (hence “invertebrate”). Insects (e.g. beetles, grasshoppers, bees, termites, ants and mealworms), arachnids (e.g. spiders, scorpions, mites and ticks), crustaceans (e.g. shrimps and crabs), annelids (e.g. earthworms, leeches and ugworms) and gastropods (e.g. snails) are all invertebrates.
