Arthropods don't actually use red blood cells, nor hemoglobin; the arthropods that use oxygen-carrying molecules in their circulatory fluid (hemolymph) use hemocyanin, a copper-based protein rather than iron-based like hemoglobin. It's also not bound to cells but drifts around in the fluid. When oxygenated it turns a bluish color.

Note that the oxygenation strategy for most (but not all) arthropods is to get oxygen directly from the air, through openings in their segments (spiracles) that connect to a trachea and to smaller tubules connected directly to tissues, thus bypassing a liquid circulatory system.
