Arthropods

This page displays information about the taxon Arthropoda, also known as Arthropods.

Arthropods position in the tree of life is: Eukaryotes -> Opisthokonts -> Metazoa (Animals) -> Bilateria -> Ecdysozoa -> Arthropoda. Please treat all classifications with care, especially the ones marked (?). I'm not an entomologist and in general all classifications were done using my photos and the literature available to me. In some cases the identifications have been checked and if necessary corrected by experts in their specific fields, where this was the case this has been noted in the text below the photos. Due to the lack of exact descriptions of species this website cannot be used as sole base for classifications. No animals were harmed while making the photos shown on this website.
