Is a butterfly considered an animal?

I’m sitting here watching T.V and this little quiz thing pops up on the show that’s on saying that a butterfly was an animal. Isn’t it actually an insect?..

Answer #1

Omfg. This is cute, an insect is also an animal. “Insect” is just a classification, every living, breathing, non-plant thing in this world is an animal. We are animals.

Answer #2

I know now. Butterflies/Moths are in the animal kingdom and are classified as insects.

Answer #3

Only that I don’t like the last sentence LOL

Answer #4

It’s true though. We are classified in the kingdom Animalia. We are not plants nor bacteria. It’s so dumb how people get all defensive when someone states the fact that we are animals too.

Answer #5

Agreed Kahili!

Answer #6

We are indeed animals! Human is in the animal category.. Like butterflies are in the insect category which is under animals. (:

Answer #7

Yup, it’s all taxonomy.

Answer #8

i consider it as one
