The largest living arthropod is a?
The largest non-extinct arthropod in size was a Japanese spider crab caught in 1921 measuring about 12 feet across the claws. The heaviest on record was a lobster weighing about 45 pounds. On land, the largest is the coconut crab at about 3 feet across. Some anecdotal evidence exists for even larger crustaceans, based on recovered exoskeletons/exuviae.
What eight characteristics are typical of arthropods?
Characteristics of arthropods: 1 - a hard outer body covering called an exoskeleton 2 - specialized mouth parts 3 - jointed legs 4 - compound eyes 5 - segmented body 6 - bilateral symmetry 7 - a tubular alimentary canal, with mouth and anus 8 - respiration by means of gills, tracheae and spiracles
What is an arthropods main feature?
Moth possess all basic arthropod characters which are 1 , Jointed appendages 2 , chitinous exoskeleton 3 , Hemocoel 4 , open circulatory system . Hence moth is Arthropod .

Do crustaceans have 3 pairs legs?

Most crustaceans, such as crabs, lobsters, and shrimp, possess five pairs of legs, which include specialized appendages for different functions. However, some smaller crustaceans may have variations in leg count, but the general characteristic is having multiple pairs of legs.

What are Three specialized parts of an arthropods?
Fact is, arthropods make up the largest animal group on earth.Crabs, scorpions, crayfish, dragonflies, arachnids, krill, shrimp are just a very few arthropods. Any animal with a segmented body and six or more legs is an arthropod.Arthropods are called the eumetazoa, which means that they develop germ layers and have vascular tissues and organs develop. Arthropods are triploblastic (form three germ layers, endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm). They have an exoskeleton which molts, contain compounds eyes, and jointed appendages. Phylum Arthropod contains classes such as Insecta, Arachnida, and Crustacea. Insecta would include bettles, butterflies, and grasshoppers. Arachnida would include Spiders, Scorpions, and Mites. Crustacea would include, Lobsters, Crabs, and Shrimp.
Are insects arthropods?
i do not know Luckily, I do! No they are NOT. These are two distinct groups of invertebrates. Insects have 3 pairs or 6 legs while an arthropod will have 5 pairs of legs :) In addition, insects have three body sections while arthropods have only two. There are more contrasts, but this should do for now.
How many legs do athropods have?
Any number. 'Arthropod' simply means 'jointed leg' (think of 'Arthritis - inflammation of the joints, and tripod - something with 3 legs). The term Artropod is reserved for invertebrate creatures ( creatures without a backbone) that have jointed legs. These include: Insects (Insecta) (6 legs) Spiders and mites (arachnids) (8 legs) and also includes, at the other end of the spectrum centipedes and millipedes (with many dozens of legs). The only common thread between them is that all have legs that are jointed. THE BASIC ARTHROPODS ARE CENTIPEDES, MILLIPEDES, SPIDERS, AND MITES
What are the names of the three segments of an arthropod?
1. Head 2.Thorax 3.Abdomen
