Arthropods

• Invertebrate
• exoskeleton
• segmented body

Do you mean arthropods? If so, your question needs to be more specific. According to National Geographic, arthropods are the single most diverse group of animals. Among that group, you can find a variety from butterflies to tarantulas to horseshoe crabs to ticks to lobsters. So as far as what arthropods kill, you would have to narrow your focus.

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).

When it grows to big for its exoskeleton, like a hermit crab.

They have a central nervous system, I think.

The arthropods fall into a categorization (taxon) called a phylum (in taxonomic nomenclature there is an entity called a 'class' which is below the phyla). Arthropods have segmented bodies, an exoskeleton made from chitin, and joint appendages.

The main reason is how weak and vulnerable they are just after molting. The new exoskeleton is still soft to allow growth of the animal. The other is the reason they hide DURING molting - it renders them immobile, some species have to lie on their back for hours on end and can't defend themselves.

The online game site does not reflect the name of an actual arthropod. The real weevil falls under the coleoptera group (beetles). Its partial taxonomy might read:

Kingdom: Animalia

Phylum: Arthropoda

Class: Insecta

Order: Coleoptera

Suborder: Polyphaga

Infraorder: Cucujiformia

Superfamily: Curculionoidea

Under the superfamily are several weevil families:

Anthribidae - fungus weevil

Attelabidae - leaf rolling weevil

Belidae - primitive weevil

Brentidae - straight snout weevil

Caridae - Gondwanan weevil

Curculionidae - true weevil

Nemonychidae - pine flower weevil.

A person who hunts animals for their fur is called a fur trapper.

The modifications of arthropod appendages has shaped the formation of different groups, such as centi/millipedes, crustaceans, arachnids and insects. The most primitive arthropods are centipedes and millipedes, using all their legs as walking legs. More advanced groups, differing from this ancestral state, modified their walking legs into mouthparts, antennae, pedipalps (arachnids) or flippers (crustaceans, look at a lobster tail).

Look carefully at an insect face and you'll see it's a fused mess of segments with the legs still attached! Stick insects and beetles are a good example, other groups have modified their palps (mouth-legs) into unrecognizable structures such as mosquito or butterfly probosci.

The air openings on abdominal segments of terrestrial arthropods would be spiracles, which connect to the trachea and tracheoles to directly oxygenate tissues and remove waste gasses. The spiracles are regulated by muscles to open or close to reduce water loss.

Arthropods which possess 8 legs belong to sub phylum Arachnida . They include spiders , scorpions and mites .

Examples of arthropods are crustaceans like crabs, lobsters, shrimp, krill and prawns; arachnids containing all the true spiders; hexapoda including the insects, and myriapods like centipedes and millipedes.

Earwigs do belong to the Phylum of Arthropods. The characteristics of arthropods is an external skeleton, a segmented body, and jointed appendages.

If you're going to be classified as an arthropod, you'd need to have a segmented body, an exoskeleton made from chitin, and joint appendages.

By walking, flying, swimming. Just about any method you can think of. As the largest phylum in the animal kingdom arthropods include crustaceans, Insects and arachnids.

Most walk, but certain species can swim, hop, fly and even wiggle in some larval stages. Some species of spider are even transported by the wind using silk as a parachute

Almost all arthropods have antennae, like the insects, crustaceans, millipedes, etc. The chelicerates (including arachnids like scorpions and spiders) have none, and they are also absent from a subgroup of hexapods (which contains the insects) called proturans.

Firstly, any sizeable organism be it Arthropod or otherwise would need some kind of infrastructure if it's important to that organism to maintain a consistent general body plan or morphology. Not all organisms require this; for example there are amorphous organisms like the amoeba or certain fungi; some slime molds can grow to a significant size and survive quite well with a highly generalized and nonspecific shape. In the case of those with a high degree of motility, some consistency in shape is useful. Even jellyfish with no significant skeleton, have sufficient rigidity for mobility. The important thing is, the degree of infrastructure is consistent with the habitat and behaviors to which it's adapted. In the case of arthropods, an exoskeleton is very convenient and an endoskeleton would be redundant; for vertebrates, an endoskeleton serves this role and an exoskeleton would prove cumbersome. To be sure, some vertebrates evidence similar adaptations for which an arthropod uses an exoskeleton, for example, the plating on an armadillo, the shell on a tortoise, the thick skin on large mammals, etc; yet for their mass, the thickness of an exoskeleton to provide the necessary rigidity for the purpose of the body plan in vertebrates would be impractical. The reverse can be said to be true of some arthropods; since some have muscles which anchor not to the exoskeleton but to internal cartilaginous structures which are arguably somewhat endoskeletal.

One might say, the laws of physics, particularly mass and gravity, dictate the usefulness of an exoskeleton to Arthropods given their size, role, and adaptations; the hardness of it reflecting the requirements placed upon the organism for its functionality and thus, its survival.

yes they have one heart that runs through a large part of it's body

There are snakes, mountain lions, and a variety of wild dogs. there is also a tricolor hernon

Spiders... with big fangs. O____O

Arthropods include an incredibly diverse group of taxa such as insects, crustaceans, spiders, scorpions, and centipedes. There are far more species of arthropods than species in all other phyla combined, and the number of undescribed species in the largest assemblage of arthropods, the insects, probably numbers in the tens of millions. Members of the phylum have been responsible for the most devastating plagues and famines mankind has known. Yet other species of arthropods are essential for our existence, directly or indirectly providing us with food, clothing, medicines, and protection from harmful organisms.

No, arthropoda comes from the Greek meaning joint legs or feet, hence the characterization of the phylum as having joint-appendages.

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.)

No: in fact, parasites such as flatworms and roundworms also prey on earthworms. Earthworms are highly beneficial, not feeding off living organisms, but breaking down decomposing organic material.
