Animals without backbones are referred to as ‘invertebrates’. The vast majority of animals are invertebrates, including animals with jointed legs such as insects, crustaceans (woodlice, crabs, crayfish, etc.), centipedes, millipedes and spiders. There are also invertebrates without legs – slugs, snails and shellfish (the ‘molluscs’).
