Do crustaceans have locomotion?

Locomotion = movement.Crustaceans generally move using their legs, but some, like barnacle adults and species like Sacculina, are anchored in place.


Can you give a big list of arthropods?

Insects (six legs), being silverfish, mayflies, dragon/damselflies, stone flies, fleas, lice, crickets, grasshoppers, true bugs (stink bugs etc), aphids, cicadas, butterflies, moths, bees, wasps, ants, flies, hoverflies, mosquitos, beetles... (pretty much all arthropods with wings really, save the silverfish) Arachnids (eight legs), being spiders, harvestmen (not spiders!), scorpions, horseshoe crabs (really, they're not crustaceans), sun/camel spiders, ticks and mites. Crustaceans (ten legs), being crabs, lobsters, shrimps, water fleas, barnacles, sacculina and relatives (look them up, they're fascinating parasites), krill and lots of other plankton. Myriapods (many legs), being centipedes and millipedes. Hope I helped! I love arthropods, I've studied them for a few years.
