Answer 2

Answer:

Phylum Arthropoda, which form the largest percentage of the world’s organisms. They make up about 80 percent of the known species of animals! It is quite hard to escape them.

Phylum  Arthropods include four basic groups, the myriapods (centipedes and millipedes), chelicerates (spiders, mites, horseshoe crabs, and scorpions), hexapods (insects) and crustaceans (lobsters, crabs, shrimp, barnacles, brine shrimp and others).
