It is nearly impossible to go a day without encountering one of the million members of this prolific phylum. More than three-quarters of the world's known animal species are arthropods, inhabiting air, land, and water.
Arthropods (Arthropoda) include invertebrates such as insects, spiders, crustaceans, scorpions, and centipedes. Arthropods are a highly successful group of animals. They evolved more than 500 million years ago and are still going strong.

The largest animal phylum belongs here, the Arthropoda, including insects, spiders, crabs, and their kin. All these organisms have a body divided into repeating segments, typically with paired appendages.
Although insects and spiders belong to the same taxonomic phylum, Arthropoda, they look very different from one another. These physical differences are what separate them in to two classes: Insecta and Arachnida.
