In taxonomy, arthropods would not be an order but a much larger grouping called a phylum (phylum Arthropoda). Taxa are hierarchical, with the smaller divisions below phyla being subphyla, and within them, the classes/subclasses, then below that, the Orders. You might say that phylum Arthropoda has a lot of orders "inside it."
What else can I help you with?
Are flies an arthropods?
Yes, flies are arthropods. Phylum arthropoda has subgroup (clade) Pancrustacea containing Hexapoda and below it, the true insects, Insectae. Flies are in order Diptera (in several groupings below Insecta.)
How are arthropods supported?
The body of arthropods is physically supported by an external skeleton (exoskeleton) made of a tough protein called chitin. Because it is inflexible, arthropods need to shed it entirely in order to grow in size.
The arthropods body detaches from exoskeleton?
Yes, in arthropods the exoskeleton detaches during moulting, and is completely shed in order for the organism to increase in size. After a while the new, softer skin hardens.
Are flys arthropods?
Insecta (the insects) are the only invertebrates to have flight capability, found under subphylum Hexapoda below the arthropods (phylum Arthropoda). Winged insects are under subclass Pterygota.
Are sanddollars arthropods?
no, i dont know what they are, but they are not arthropods
Do arthropods shed?
Yes, owing to their hard chitinous exoskeleton, arthropods are compelled to shed (moult) periodically in order to grow, a process called ecdysis.
Why are arthropods called arthropods?
They express the characteristics inherent to arthropods. All insects are arthropods. Not all arthropods are insects.
Are flies an arthropods?
Yes, flies are arthropods. Phylum arthropoda has subgroup (clade) Pancrustacea containing Hexapoda and below it, the true insects, Insectae. Flies are in order Diptera (in several groupings below Insecta.)
What enables arthropods to increase in size?
Since the external covering (exoskeleton) is inflexible, it's necessary for arthropods to periodically shed it (moult) in order to grow, a process called ecdysis.
Are mammals part of the arthropods?
NO Mammals are not arthropods. Arthropods are insects.
How are arthropods supported?

Are Arthropods eukaryotes or prokaryotes?
arthropods are eukaryotic because arthropods are animals.
The arthropods body detaches from exoskeleton?
Yes, in arthropods the exoskeleton detaches during moulting, and is completely shed in order for the organism to increase in size. After a while the new, softer skin hardens.
Why are milkweed bugs called arthropods?
They express the characteristics inherent to arthropods. All insects are arthropods. Not all arthropods are insects.

Are scorpions arthropods?
Yes they are arthropods
Are goats arthropods?
No, goats are not arthropods.
