What is the correct order of arthropod groups from those with most legs to those with fewest legs?

The correct order of arthropod groups from those with the most legs to those with the fewest is: Myriapoda (which includes centipedes and millipedes), Crustacea (such as crabs and shrimp), Arachnida (spiders and scorpions), and Insecta (insects). Myriapods can have hundreds of legs, while crustaceans typically have multiple pairs of legs, arachnids have eight, and insects have six legs. This classification reflects the general trend of leg count decreasing from myriapods to insects.

Would a squirrel be an arthropod?

No, a squirrel is not an arthropod. Arthropods are invertebrate animals with jointed legs, segmented bodies, and an exoskeleton, such as insects, spiders, and crustaceans. Squirrels are mammals, belonging to the class Mammalia.


How many legs do arthropods have?

It varies. Typically insects (which are arthropods) have 6, although it can vary depending on species. Because the name "arthropod" refers to any organisms with exoskeletons, there is no exact number of legs that an arthropod may possess. Insects in general possess 6 limbs, while arachnids such as spiders have 8. Crustaceans like lobsters or crabs may support 10 or more. Still, some species in the subphylum myriapoda such as millipedes or centipedes may contain at least 9 pairs of legs. The leggiest specie of arthropod, Illacme plenipes, which is a Californian millipede, has been recorded for having 750 legs.
