Under arthropoda are Subphyla Chelicerata, Myriapoda, Crustacea, and Hexapoda. (There is also an extinct class Marrellomorpha and an the extinct Trilobite subphylum). The chelicerata, like Spiders, scorpions, mites, etc., get their name from having appendages appear before the mouth; myriapods like centipedes and millipedes characterized by a high count of body segments and legs; crustaceans like crabs, shrimp, woodlice characterized by their biramous (two-part) limbs and a specialized larval form; hexapoda named for their consolidated thorax with only three pairs of legs.
There are many classes below these subphyla.. here is a list:
Trilobita - trilobites (extinct)
Arachnida - spiders, scorpions, etc.
Merostomata - horseshoe crabs, eurypterids (extinct), etc.
Pycnogonida - sea spiders
Chilopoda - centipedes
Diplopoda - millipedes
Pauropoda - sister group to millipedes
Symphyla - resemble centipedes
Branchiopoda - brine shrimp etc.
Remipedia - blind crustaceans
Cephalocarida - horseshoe shrimp
Maxillopoda - barnacles, copepods, fish lice, etc.
Ostracoda - seed shrimp
Malacostraca - lobsters, crabs, shrimp, etc.
Insecta - insects
Entognatha - wingless
Camptophyllia (extinct class)
Marrellomorpha (one extinct species)
Some classes are still uncertain and debate is ongoing as to placement in the taxonomic tree.
Insects are in class Insecta under subphylum Hexapoda. Arthropods are a phylum or a major category towards the top of the taxonomic tree, which contains several sub-phyla and the classes (instances of the class taxon) below them. Under arthropoda are Subphyla Chelicerata, Myriapoda, Crustacea, and Hexapoda. (There is also an extinct class Marrellomorpha and an the extinct Trilobite subphylum). The chelicerata, like spiders, scorpions, mites, etc., get their name from having appendages appear before the mouth; myriapods like centipedes and millipedes characterized by a high count of body segments and legs; crustaceans like crabs, shrimp, woodlice characterized by their biramous (two-part) limbs and a specialized larval form; hexapoda named for their consolidated thorax with only three pairs of legs.
Other classes below the phylum are present under these subphyla; for example classes Arachnida, Chilopoda, Branchiopod, Insecta, and Malacostraca - and several others.
* centipedes * horseshoe crabs * insects * millipedes
The three main classes of arthropods are: insects (cockroachs, ants, flies, bees, beetles, butterflies), crustaceans (crabs, lobsters, shrimps, barnacles) and arachnids (scorpions, spiders, mites). Other classes are onychophorans (velvet worms), diplopods (millipedes) and chilopods (centipedes).
Yes. All insects, Spiders, arachnids, etc. are arthropods.
Bumblebees are insects, and all insects are arthropods.
Assuming this question is how are insects different from other arthropods, insects fall into hexapods which includes insects, springtails and a few other groups of arthropods with six legs. Insects are different from other hexapods in that they possess a structure called a tentorium which is an internal support skeleton in the head made by extensions of the exoskeleton into the head.
No. Arthropoda is a phylum, containing the classes Insecta, Arachnida, Crustacea and Myriapoda - insects, arachnids, crustaceans and centi/millipedes. So all insects are arthropods but not all arthropods are insects. ^^
All insects are arthropods. The phylum Arthropoda contains the classes Insecta (insects), Crustacea (crabs, lobsters, etc), Chelicerata (arachnids) and a few others.
Insects are arthropods.
They express the characteristics inherent to arthropods. All insects are arthropods. Not all arthropods are insects.
No they are among the class of animals called arthropods.(Be careful with your spelling! An anthropod is something that has an appearance resembling a human being)
They express the characteristics inherent to arthropods. All insects are arthropods. Not all arthropods are insects.
Insects are the largest group of arthropods.
All insects present an exoskeleton, so all insects are arthropods.
Both walking sticks and beetles are both insects and arthropods, as all insects are arthropods.
NO Mammals are not arthropods. Arthropods are insects.
its an Arthropod
Yes. Stick insects obviously are insects, and all insects are arthropods! ^^
