Arthropoda is the largest animal phylum with the estimates of the number of arthropod species varying from 1,170,000 to 5 to 10 million and accounting for over 80 per cent of all known living animal species. One arthropod sub-group, the insects, includes more described species than any other taxonomic class.

Scientists know of more than 1 million speciesof arthropods. 80% of all known animal species are arthropods. Many more species have not yet been described. Most arthropod species are insects. "Insects are the most diverse organisms in the history of life". Most arthropods live on land. The phylum Arthropoda is the only phylum of invertebrates that ...
Arthropods have a hard exoskeleton. The exoskeleton reduces the loss of water (dessication). This helps them to live on land without drying out.
Arthropods are made up of four groups of living animals and one group of extinct animals: 1. Chelicerates include mites, horseshoe crabs, scorpions and spiders. 2. Myriapods include millipedes and centipedes. 3. Crustaceans include barnacles, crabs, shrimp, crayfish, and lobsters. Most crustaceans live in water, with the most notable exception of w...

Arthropods ( / ˈɑːrθrəpɒd /) are invertebrates in the phylum Arthropoda. They possess an exoskeleton with a cuticle made of chitin, often mineralised with calcium carbonate, a body with differentiated ( metameric) segments, and paired jointed appendages.
Arthropoda consists of more than one million known invertebrate species in four subphyla: Uniramia (five classes, including insect s), Chelicerata (three classes, including arachnid s and horseshoe crab s), Crustacea ( crustacean s), and Trilobita (trilobites).
