| arthropod |
An arthropod is a member of a group of invertebrate animals that includes insects, spiders and crustaceans. An extinct group of fossil arthropods is the trilobites. The arthropods first appear in the fossil record in the early Cambrian, and account for 75% of all animal species ever described. Arthropods are characterized by having exoskeletons, and paired jointed limbs. This word comes from the Greek words arthron (joint) and podos (foot).
