By count the most arthropod species fall under the Insecta class, with a million species described and millions estimated yet to be described, evidencing an immense diversity. By count, insects are over half of all living animals and by some estimates may constitute up to ninety percent of all living animals on Earth.

∙ 10y agoThe true count of living arthropods at any given moment on Earth is unknown but some estimates place them around ten quintillion (10,000,000,000,000,000,000) which is over a billion for every human.
They also are the most diverse in species, with the highest count known of described species in any phylum. Over a million species under phylum arthropoda have been described and biologists estimate that millions of species have yet to be described.

Which of the five classes of arthropods is the most diverse?
Insecta you nucking retards!
Are arthropods a small group?
Yes, by definition all arthropods are taxonomically related in the sense that they share membership in the same phylum (Arthropoda); although this does not necessarily mean they share a common ancestor.
What are the most diverse group of arthropods?
By far, the most diverse group of arthropods is the insects superclass. More than 1,000,000 species are known to date! Runners up are the Chelicerata (Spiders, scorpions, horseshoe crabs, etc) with 77,000 species, and then the Crustacea (crabs, lobsters, etc) with 50,000 species. In last place are the myriapods (centipedes, millipedes, etc) with 13,000 species.
What is the importance of killing Arthropods?
Do you mean arthropods? If so, your question needs to be more specific. According to National Geographic, arthropods are the single most diverse group of animals. Among that group, you can find a variety from butterflies to tarantulas to horseshoe crabs to ticks to lobsters. So as far as what arthropods kill, you would have to narrow your focus.
Are sanddollars arthropods?
no, i dont know what they are, but they are not arthropods
What phyla or group is the largest and most diverse?
The Arthropods are the largest and most diverse.
Which of the five classes of arthropods is the most diverse?
Insecta you nucking retards!
What are other animals in arthropods?
Phylum arthropoda contains a vast and diverse group of animals. Spiders, centipedes, shrimp, crabs, lobsters, millipedes, and many others are arthropods.
Which of the five classes of arthropods is the most diverse Explain?
Insecta...Cant Explain. Sorry. =) Try To Google It...
What is the most abundant and diverse group of organisms?
InsectsNote: This answer is acceptable if by group you were asking for Class. But the most diverse "group" would be invertebrates, since they are ~95% of all animals. If you were asking for Phylum, it would be Arthropoda.Canis lupus would be an incredibly diverse species.
What are arthropods appearance?
Arthropods have the largest and most diverse group of species known, so their appearance varies vastly depending on habitat and specific adaptations, but some characteristics that are apparent on all are the jointed appendages, body segmentation, and an exoskeleton made of chitin.
Are arthropods a small group?
Yes, by definition all arthropods are taxonomically related in the sense that they share membership in the same phylum (Arthropoda); although this does not necessarily mean they share a common ancestor.
Which phylum has the second most diverse?
If you mean the second most diverse animal phylum in terms of number of species, it would probably be the nematodes, which are a type of worm, or chordates, which includes humans. Arthropods are the most species rich animal phylum.
Why are arthropods called arthropods?
They express the characteristics inherent to arthropods. All insects are arthropods. Not all arthropods are insects.
Are mammals part of the arthropods?
NO Mammals are not arthropods. Arthropods are insects.
