Die subfilum '''Hexapoda''', wat ''ses pote'' beteken, is insekagtiges, die grootste groep [[geleedpotiges]] (in terme van die aantal spesies) en sluit [[insek]]te in, asook drie kleiner groepe geleedpotiges sonder vlerke: ''Collembola'' (springsterte), ''Protura'' (oerinsekte), en ''Diplura''. Hierdie drie groepe was voorheen as insekte beskou, maar word nou saam gegroepeer as die Entognathaklas.<ref name=''prbh''>{{cite web|url=https://decapoda.nhm.org/pdfs/31595/31595.pdf | title= Phylogenetic Relationships of Basal Hexapods Reconstructed from Nearly Complete 18S and 28S rRNA Gene Sequences |publisher= Institute of Plant Physiology & Ecology, Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai 200032, China |accessdate= 14 April 2017}}</ref> Insekagtiges is genoem na hul mees kenmerkende eienskap: 'n toraks wat bestaan uit drie gekonsolideerde liggaamselemente, met drie pare pote.
