More than 90% of species that have been described in the kingdom of Animalia belong to the invertebrates. Long evolutionary development has led to a diverse body morphology and function of biomaterials as result of adaptive response to the environmental conditions. A great number of invertebrate species and their cosmopolitan distribution, offer a great potential for innovative design solutions in the field of bionics and biomimicry. In this paper, an overview is given of recent works in the field of biomaterials, architecture and robotics, in which invertebrates served as model organisms for creating new solutions using their naturally existing structures, inspiration for making artificial materials using naturally existing material organizations, using enclosures in architecture and their behaviors for robotics solutions. Investments in the fields of bionics and biomimicry have been increasing due to the global shift towards green economy, which will probably lead to a faster and easier development of nature inspired products.
