Arthropods

Insects, arachnids, crustaceans and myriapods have so much in common. They have bodies that are divided into different parts and all of them are invertebrates

They eat leaves.

Well do they

Note that in some texts the subphyla may be referred to as classes; occasionally the taxonomic discipline appears somewhat fluid.

Arthropoda has subphyla Chelicerata, Myriapoda, Crustacea, and Hexapoda. (There is also an extinct class Marrellomorpha and an the extinct Trilobite subphylum). The chelicerata, like spiders, scorpions, mites, etc., get their name from having appendages appear before the mouth; myriapods like centipedes and millipedes characterized by a high count of body segments and legs; crustaceans like crabs, shrimp, woodlice characterized by their biramous (two-part) limbs and a specialized larval form; hexapoda named for their consolidated thorax with only three pairs of legs.

Classes below phylum Arthropoda could be selected from these subphyla; for example classes Arachnida, Chilopoda, Branchiopod, Insecta, and Malacostraca - but there are many more classes.

Moulting - the shedding of the entire outer casing. The arthropod grows a new 'skin' underneath the old one. At the time the old casing is shed, the new one is sof and pliable. It hardens within a few minutes to restore the protection that the 'shell' normally provides.

The dorsal side is its back, and the ventral side is its 'stomach'.

The crayfish is vulnerable on its soft underbelly - the ventral side.

yes they curl up

It's two per segment

Terrestrial biomes

Arthropods live in just about every habitat (if not every habitat) on the earth: Terrestrial which include: desert, forrest, grassland and tundra and Aquatic which include: freshwater and marine,

Jointed limbs are important to arthropods to facilitate survival through mobility, feeding, sensory functions, respiration, etc. The reason for the jointing itself can be attributed to the composition of the exoskeleton (chitin); because of its rigidity, jointing is necessary to provide degrees of freedom for rotation, flexion and extension, etc., to perform physical functions; without jointing, they might be immobile. Other animal phyla might appear to have obviated the use of limbs altogether (like the annelid earthworm) or utilize an unjointed muscular limb (like cephalopod molluscs).

There are several million different types.

Kolihapeltis is a genus of trilobite, an extinct arthropod that lived from the Early Devonian to the Middle Devonian. It's remains have been found in Africa and Europe.

There is such thing as double jointed. The term double jointed is often used to describe someone with hypermobility. This allows the body to move in ways that are usually not normal for most people.

Use the environmentally friendly millipede catcher from www.millipedecatchers.com

You kill them and stop the breeding cycle. This is most important, otherwise you continue to use chemical killing our native insects. This then slows the breakdown of mulch and your plants suffer because the soil lack nutrients.

There are 4 characteristics that are shared by all Arthropods...

1.) Jointed Limbs

2.) A segmented body with specialzed parts

3.) An Exoskeleton

4.) Well developed nervous system.

P.S... I found this answer out of my Science Book! ;)

Anthropods or anthropoids are a group of human like primates including new world monkeys, old world monkeys, gibbons, orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees, and humans. These animals branch off early in evolution from their distant relatives such as the lemurs and tarsiers. Also check out arthropods completely different, but spelled similarly.

No, centipedes usually have very long back legs which resemble their antennae. This makes it more difficult for potential predators such as birds to correctly identify which end is the head. If the centipede is mistakenly picked up by the tail end it can reach round and use its powerful jaws (which are actually modified legs) to defend itself.

Crustaceans are arthropods characterized (and classified) by their biramous (branching) appendages, which include two antenna pairs. The smaller set are referred to as antennules.

All other arthropod groups have one pair except chelicerates and proturans, which have no antennae.

An arthropod is an invertebrate animal having an exoskeleton (external skeleton), a segmented body, and jointed appendages. Arthropods are members of the Phylum Arthropoda (from Greek ἄρθρον arthron, "joint", and ποδός podos "foot", which together mean "jointed feet"), and include the insects, arachnids, crustaceans, and others. Arthropods are characterized by their jointed limbs and cuticles, which are mainly made of α-chitin; the cuticles of crustaceans are also biomineralized with calcium carbonate. The rigid cuticle inhibits growth, so arthropods replace it periodically by molting. The arthropod body plan consists of repeated segments, each with a pair of appendages. It is so versatile that they have been compared to Swiss Army knives, and it has enabled them to become the most species-rich members of all ecological guilds in most environments. They have over a million described species, making up more than 80% of all described living species, and are one of only two animal groups that are really successful in dry environments - the other being the amniotes. They range in size from microscopic plankton up to forms a few meters long.

the are not important in the world so please do not look at this place

Turtles are vertebrates (phylum Chordata, the chordates) as they have an internal skeleton including a spinal (vertebral) column or backbone. By contrast, phylum Arthropoda (the arthropods) are characterized by exoskeletons made from chitin, segmented bodies, and jointed appendages; along with other differences, they do not have backbones like turtles.

Because Arthropoda is a phylum, one need only look for any other animal phylum to find non-arthopods. Chordates for example, mammals, fish, birds. Mollusca, with slugs, snails, squid, octopi. Echinoderms, like sand dollars and starfish. Annelida, with earthworms, leeches, and so on. Chances are, if there's an animal which doesn't have a chitin exoskeleton, you've found something not an arthropod.

a arthropod is a group a species containing Spiders lobster crab scropine harvestmen mites

and ticks

Some chordates have them, and in some the distinction may need to be qualified. In molluscs they remain undifferentiated, in mammals for example they differentiate into separate cavities, the pleural, peritoneal and pericardial.
