Enlist harmful arthropods?
Answers
Answer:
Arthropods are animals that are members of the phylum Arthropoda. More than 80% of all of the animals in the world are arthropods. With such a large group of animals, there is quite a lot of diversity - and quite a lot of examples - but they do have some similar traits:
Invertebrates
An exoskeleton, or external, skeleton made of chitin and it is covered with a thick protective layer, or cuticle
Segmented bodies
Six legs or more which are jointed. In fact, their name comes from the Greek words for "joint" and "foot."
Basic Categories of Arthropods
Here are some basic examples of arthropods sorted by the non-extinct subphyla:
Chelicerata: horseshoe crabs, spiders, scorpions, sea spiders and mites
Myriapoda: millipedes, centipedes, pauropods and symphylans (known as glasshouse symphylans or garden centipedes)
Crustacea: brine shrimp, barnacles, lobsters, crabs, shrimp and remipedes
Hexapoda: insects and three orders of entognatha: collembola, proturans and diplura
Reproductive methods are diverse among arthropods but most begin life as an egg. As they grow, their exoskeleton splits in the back and the arthropod slips out of it and grows another one which is bigger. This process can take from a few minutes to several hours, during which time they are vulnerable to predators.
Types of Arthropods
A large majority of arthropods belong to the three main groups:
Insects
Arachnids
Crustaceans
Insects (Subphylum Hexapoda)
Since there are three-quarters of a million insect species, it's best to just look at some of the common ones. They include:
Ants
Aphids
Beetles
Butterflies
Cicadas
Cockroaches
Dragonflies
Fleas
Flies
Grasshoppers
Leaf hoppers
Lice
Mayflies
Praying mantis
Stink bugs
Silverfishes
Termites
Walking sticks
All insects have six legs which are arranged in pairs. They also have two antennae and most of them have two compound eyes. Typically you will find two pairs of wings on insects, with some of them having only one pair, like flies. A few insects have no wings, like ants, fleas, and lice. Insects are the only invertebrates that can fly.
Arachnids (Subphylum Chelicerata)
The three main orders of arachnids are:
Scorpionida (scorpions)
Acarina (ticks and mites)
Araneae (spiders)
There are over 100,000 species of arachnids. Common ones include:
Black widow spider
Brown recluse
Chiggers
Crab spiders
Daddy longlegs
Harvestmen
Mites
Orb weavers
Scorpions
Spiders
Ticks
Vinegaroons
Whip tailed scorpions
Wind scorpions
Arachnids are eight-legged arthropods with no wings or antennae. Most arachnids live on land; but, a few species can be found in fresh and salt water habitats.
Arthropods can be useful and harmful both for humans.
Explanation:
- Arthropods are the invertebrates that come under the phylum Arthropoda. Insects, arachnids, myriapods, and crustaceans are the major groups of this phylum. It is the largest phylum in the animal kingdom.
- Arthropods can be harmful and useful for humans and other organisms. Some harmful arthropods are Arizona Bark Scorpion, Black Widow scorpions, centipede, Tarantula, etc. These species of arthropods can inject poison in humans and can harm humans.
- Some arthropods are responsible for spreading malaria, Lyme, yellow fever, encephalitis for example mosquitoes.
