INVERTEBRATES

Invertebrates are animals that do not have backbones. Invertebrates are cold-blooded; their body
temperature depends on the temperature of their environment. Some examples of invertebrates are
ants, bees and arachnids. Ants are social insects while bees are insects that fly and live in a hive.

Arachnids have eight jointed legs, an exoskeleton, and a two-part body. Spiders, scorpions, and ticks
are arachnids.
