Are they in some separate category?
They're separate biological classes.
So they're about as far apart as you are from a reptile, bird or fish.
Not exactly. Humans, birds, and reptiles are all within the phylum chordata, while arachnids and insects are both within the phylum arthropoda.
Fish, interestingly, aren't a real thing in terms of formal classification. The term is similar to bug in that we apply it to whichever creatures we feel fit the description.
Yeah I simplified it a bit cause I didn't want to open a can of dinosaurs.
I don't know if you saw Johandea's reply to me, but it made me realize I was mistaken about what you meant.
I love opening cans of dinosaurs. :D
It's the chicken of the past (literally)
