An insect is not a mammal. Mammals are warm-blooded organisms that have vertebrae, have hair or fur, and, instead of laying eggs, give birth to live offspring. Insects lay eggs, making them not mammals. In addition, insects are a different category of organisms than, for example, mammals and plants.
