Beetles are insects that belong to the superorder Endopterygota's Coleoptera order. They can be distinguished from most other insects by the fact that their front pair of wings have solidified into wing-cases, or elytra.

Briefing:

Both share all five features that define arthropods: segmented bodies with different body sections, jointed appendages, exoskeletons, growth through molting, and open circulatory systems.

  • A spider only has two different body regions, compared to a beetle's three (head, thorax, and abdomen) (cephalothorax and abdomen)
  • A spider has four pairs of legs, compared to a beetle's three pairs (for a total of six legs) (eight legs)
