Snails are called snails becuase, in 1912 a person named S. Ingerney found one. He recalled that it looked like a giant nail. He named the species nail. After a while, he got a black lung disese and died. A person interested in the species "nail" looked in Dr. Ingerney's diary, it said that he wished for the species to be called a more interesting name. So, the person changed the name to snails.
hu um..... its not an arthropod i dont think :S
Because it is supposed to look a bit like a snail.
No, it's the outside of a mollusc, such as a snail, slug or squid. Arthropods are animals such as insects, crustaceans and arachnids, with a hard exoskeleton as their outside covering.
An arthropod
Nope - it's a member of the Jellyfish family, not an arthropod.
Barnacles

A snail is a mollusc, as are the octopus and oyster.
The only arthropod I know with a house is a hermit crab - they utilized empty snail shells.
No, snails belong to the gastropod class under phylum Mollusca (molluscs). Arthropoda are a different phylum and characterized by joint appendages, like insects and crustaceans.
No they are not an arthropod.

Yes. Although they have hard exoskeletons in the front, the back half is soft much like a snail's body. There have been debates whether this animal is a mollusk or arthropod.
An arthropod
Vectors of the arthropod.
As the arthropod grows up, the exoskeleton sheds in order for the arthropod to grow inside of it.

yes a beetle is an arthropod
