Arthropod
Although all 4 are types of animals they are quite different.
- An Arthropod is an invertebrate with an exoskeleton rather than an internal skeleton (and hence not a vertebrate since that would require having a backbone or the equivalent), a segmented body, and jointed paired appendages.
- A mollusk is also an invertebrate but has a mantle with a significant cavity used for breathing and excretion, a radula, a minutely toothed, chitinous ribbon kind of like a tounge, which is typically used for scraping or cutting food before the food enters the esophagus (except in the case of bivalves like clams and oysters, and a nervous system with two pairs of main nerve cords (one mostly serving the internal organs and the other the "foot") organized around a number of paired ganglia. In many species of mollusks the epidermis of the mantle secretes calcium carbonate and conchiolin which create a shell for the mollusk.
- The term "worm" applies to a disparate group of animals with long cylindrical tube-like bodies and no legs. Most, but not all, worms are invertebrates.
- Sponges are multicellular organisms that have bodies full of pores and channels allowing water to circulate through them. They lack any nervous, digestive, or circulatory system. Most sponges rely on maintaining a constant water flow through their bodies to obtain food and oxygen and to remove wastes. Obviously they live in the water since they rely on this water flow.

What do scorpions contribute to there environment?
Scorpions introduce a healthy dose of fear and anguish to your otherwise peaceful nights cuddled up in soft bedsheets. You never know when one will turn up and they like to keep you one your toes that way. It makes life more entertaining for everyone. The scorpion has contributed mostly to modern civilization's entertainment industries such as film and music, offering up ideas for films like The Scorpion King trilogy, The Curse of the Jade Scorpion, Red Scorpion, and the lesser known Scorpio Nights. I need not mention the untouchable rock group The Scorpions but I will because they are just that good. Most scorpions are friendly and if you let them sting you once, you have a friend for life. I have seen men in India walking giant scorpions on leashes. Scorpions can be frightening but only when improperly engaged. The scorpion has a soft spot for spaghetti and meatballs and barrel-aged whiskey. If you show up to a scorpion hot zone lacking these items, prepare to be stung.

Insects that are commonly referred to as water scorpions belong to the family
Nepidae. There are 13 species of water scorpions found in North America (McCafferty,
1981). Water scorpions are 15-45 mm (excluding the breathing tube) long and are
either narrow and elongate or broad and oval in form (McCafferty, 1981). Nepidae
respire through a long caudal breathing tube, or snorkel. The legs are long and narrow.
The fore legs are raptorial (Daly, 1998; Kellogg and Kellogg, 1994; Lehmkuhl, 1979;
McCafferty, 1981), while the posterior legs are adapted for walking among aquatic
vegetation and debris where they stalk prey (Daly, 1998). Water scorpions are poor
swimmers (Daly, 1998; McCafferty, 1981), but they mostly inhabit aquatic vegetation
and debris of lentic waters and therefore do not need to be good swimmers.
The group of insects commonly known as the giant water bugs belongs to the
family Belostomatidae. There are approximately 20 species of belostomatids found in
North America (Lehmkuhl, 1979; McCafferty, 1981). These can be some of the largest
aquatic insects and are usually 20-65 mm long (McCafferty, 1981). They are somewhat
flattened and oval in form. Giant water bugs obtain oxygen through a pair of retractile
strap-like appendages that are located at the tip of the abdomen (Lehmkuhl, 1979). The
fore legs are raptorial, and the middle and hind legs are fringed with hairs for swimming.
The large raptorial fore legs allow belostomatids to attack prey that can be up to 20 time
G. Smith 9
larger in size (Kellogg and Kellogg, 1994). Males of the genera Belostoma and Abedus
carry eggs on their backs (females glue them there) until they hatch. Common names
other than giant water bugs include fish killers, electric light bugs, and toe biters. The
name fish killer refers to the voraciousness of some species that will attack small fishes
and other small animals such as ducklings (McCafferty, 1981). The name electric light
bug refers to the tendency of dispersing adults to be attracted to lights at night
(McCafferty, 1981). The name toe biter refers to the fact that some species are known
bit the toes of waders and swimmers (McCafferty, 1981).
