All of these are in the kingdom Animalia - eukaryotic, heterotrophic, no cell wall, most have extracellular digestion

1.  butterfly - phylum Arthropoda, subphylum Uniramia, Class Insecta
 bilateral symmetry, triploblastic, coelomate, protostome
 one-way digestive tract with some specialization
 open circulatory system
other features: chitinous exoskeleton, segmented, flight

2. coral - phylum Cnidaria
radial symmetry, diploblastic, body cavity and developmental pattern not applicable
two-way digestive tract or harbors photosynthetic organisms
no circulatory system
other features: secretes carbon-based exoskeleton, lives communally
    only this exoskelton is pictured, the coral animal is gone
