Arthropods are everywhere and are the largest animal phylum — about 85% of all known animals in the world are part of this class.

There are far more species of arthropods than there are species in all the other phylum’s (phyla) combined.
They are spiders, insects, centipedes, mites, ticks, lobsters, crabs, shrimp, crayfish, krill, barnacles, scorpions and many, many others.
Arthropods are cold blooded — which means, their body temperature depends on the temperature of the environment surrounding them.
