What is an Arthropod?

Dan Babbitt, manager of the Smithsonian’s Insect Zoo, shows why the name of the zoo is a little imprecise. The Insect Zoo is home to all five major groups of arthropods—insects, arachnids, crustaceans, millipedes, and centipedes—all of which Babbitt defines.

Hmmm
Where can I go find a living example? Easy. I'm Greek and I live in the suburbia outside of Athens (somewhere near Mt Penteli). My house was built near a forest so it's easy to find insects there, there are a lot of samples there. When I say a lot, I mean a whole variety of them. My insectologist has told us to prepare an insect collection of 30 samples so we could attend the lab exams. I found 30 of them in 3 weeks and passed the exam. It was easy. Insectology is fun. Milipedes, centipedes and arachnids are easy to be found inside my house too. Now about crustaceans... I have to leave my house to find them because the sea has a far away distance from my house.

Arthropods are divided into two subphyla:

Phylum: Arthropoda (Arthropods)
• Subphylum: Myriochelata (Myriochelates)
•• Superclass: Myriapoda (Myriapods)
•• Superclass: Chelicerata (Chelicerates)
• Subphylum: Pancrustacea (Pancrustaceans)
•• Superclass: Crustacea (Crustaceans)
•• Superclass: Hexapoda (Hexapods)

I just wanted to share that I saw what looked like a adult caddisfly last summer. it was on the firepit and it was about a inch long. might of been a Grey Caddisfly due to the grey coloring

What were those little swimmers 😍 they were way too cute

[Broockle]

I thought Millipedes and Centipedes form the Myriapodes together.
Or is that splitting hairs?

Because of spiders and crabs and lobster being arthropods, they are all related. :) (distantly). That is why crabs look a lot like spiders
