What I meant was that in the same way bess, ants and wasps share a common ancestor and are in the same family or order or whatever, that maybe the same was true of muds, gluks and sligs.

I did a mock-up of a tree of life. Its pretty bare. I got stumped on the insect bit. I'm sure some are vertebrates, and others aren't, so are these different insectoids unrelated? Did they independantly evolve an endoskeleton? Did the others perhaps lose theirs in favour of just an exoskeleton?
