Arthropods

Arthropods are a large group of invertebrates, which means

they do not have backbones (vertebrae). Insects, spiders, crabs,
shrimp, millipedes and centipedes are all arthropods. Arthropods
have jointed feet, a segmented body and an exoskeleton (a
cuticle on the outside of their body).

Arthropods have by far the greatest number of species of any animal group, at around 900.000
species. Insects are the most diverse organisms in life's history.

Another notable fact is that arthropods are mostly terrestrial in their habitat. They are helped in this
respect by their hard exoskeleton, which reduces the loss of water (desiccation). Arthropods are also
notable as the first ones to develop genuine flight.

Arthropods are made up of four groups of living animals and one group of extinct animals. The four
groups are insects, arachnids, crustaceans and myriapods. The trilobites are extinct, and they are the
second most famous type of fossil, after the dinosaurs.

They are a source of food for many animals, including humans.
