Not all arthropods live in a dry environment; many like the crustaceans are aquatic, and even the crustaceans that aren't tend towards moist land areas. Those with gills that venture onto land areas, like crabs, need to keep gills and other membranes moist for gas exchange, and either live in damp areas or return periodically to water. Those that live in dry environments carefully regulate water and practice strategies to aquire and retain it. For example they uptake water through specialized mouthparts and other appendages, by having guard cells in their spiracles to prevent dehydration, by aquisition through diet, by direct absorbtion through their bodies from soil or other damp material, and other methods.
