Well we all learned at school the classic evolutionarily theory

From:          To: 
fish           amphibian
amphibian      reptile
reptile        mammal
reptile        bird

But what always interested me:
What about non vertebratesinvertebrates?
Do they also have some evolutionary table like vertebrates or was there evolution never that interesting to begin with?
I can roughly imagine that there are giant evolutionary gaps between an insect and a jellifish but is there any common ancestor of all of them?

So my question has essentially two parts:

  1. What is the common ancester between vertebrates, arthropods and molluscs
  2. Is there an evolutionary Tree for the last two like for the vertebrates
