The Arthropoda is divided into a number of classes. These include the:
Crustacea (crabs, crayfish, prawns)
Arachnida (spiders, mites, scorpions)
Myriapoda (millipedes & centipedes)
Insecta (insects)
These amazingly diverse animals have conquered all the environments on earth except for the frozen polar environments at the highest altitudes and in the immediate vicinity of active volcanoes.
Insects are an ancient group of animals. The first insects probably appeared before the Devonian period (400 - 360 million years ago) and by the Carboniferous period (360 - 285 million years ago) had taken to the air.
