The phylum arthropoda is divided into three main classes . these are :

Crustacea eg : Daphnia(water flea)

Insecta eg: locust or butterfly

Arachnida eg: spider or scorpion

Diagnostic features of Arthropoda:

Arthropods are triploblastic coelomates.

They have an exoskeleton which is there for suppost. the exosckelton also prevents dessication.

they have metameric segmentation; tagmatisation : where several segments fuse to form one tagmata.

they have compound eyes.

Diagnostic features of Arachnida eg : scorpion

terrestrial

2 tagmata:cephalothorax and abdomen

no antennae

simply eyes only

no larval form
