Fossils suggest that arachnids were among the first animals to live on land, perhaps in the early Devonian Period, nearly 400 million years ago. About 60,000 species are known, although many, especially mites, remain undiscovered or undescribed. Arachnids are found throughout the world in nearly every habitat, but they reach their greatest size and diversity in warm arid and tropical regions. Characteristics The arachnid body is divided into two parts: anterior and posterior. The anterior part, called the cephalothorax, contains sense organs, mouthparts, and limbs in pairs. The first pair of limbs-the chelicerae-may form pincers or poison fangs, and the second pair-the pedipalps-may serve as pincers, feelers, or legs. The other limb pairs, generally four, are used for walking. The posterior part of the body, the abdomen, bears the genital opening and other structures. It is usually equipped with modified gills called book lungs. Most arachnids are solitary except at the time of mating, when a variety of complex behavior patterns may be observed. Females may guard eggs or young, which are often born live.

Arachnids include spiders, scorpions, harvestmen (or daddy longlegs), mites, and ticks. Arachnids are widely distributed over the world. Arachnids are invertebrates (animals without backbones). The body is made up of a cephalothorax (fused head and thorax) and abdomen, and usually six pairs of appendages. The first pair are the chelicerae, for catching and holding prey; those of spiders have poison sacs and fangs. The second pair are the pedipalps, for feeling and for manipulating prey. The other four pairs are for walking and—in some arachnids—for feeling. Spiders are common arachnids. Arachnids make up the class Arachnida of the phylum Arthropoda.

Home Classification Of Animals Vertebrates Mammals ... Arachnids Arachnids Arachnids are invertebrate animals that belong to the group Arthropods and subphylum Chelicerata. This group includes animals like spiders, ticks, scorpions, and mites. Arachnids get their name after the legendary figure Arachne. They are terrestrial. Arachnids are easily distinguished from the other insects by the fact that they have eight legs. Fossils studies suggest that arachnids are the fist animal species to live on land early in the Devonian period. Today there are about 65,000 to 73,000 species of arachnids are found. They are found in all parts of the world in the entire habitat. Arachnids species living in the warm, arid tropical region will grow to their greatest size. Like arthropods arachnids also have a hard exoskeleton and jointed legs used for locomotion. Some arachnids have four pairs of legs. Few of them use their first pair of legs for feeding and to hold the prey. They lack the antennae. The body segment is divided into prosoma and abdomen. To know about more about the body structure of the arachnids refer to the page Anatomy of Arachnids Arachnids are antagonistic predators. Their body temperature depends on the temperature of the surroundings hence they are cold blooded animals. Book lung which has the structure of the gills helps them to breathe. Most of the arachnids are carnivores. They pierce the body of the prey and consume the body fluids. You can learn more about the characteristic of the arachnids through the page

Animals Dogs Cats Small Pets ... Animals Arachnids The class Arachnida is a group of mostly terrestrial arthropods which includes spiders, scorpions, mites, ticks, harvestmen, false scorpions (pseudoscorpions) and sun spiders. Many arachnids have highly developed chelicerae (also found in pycnogonids and horseshoe crabs) in the head region, which usually take the form of a pair of pincer-like organs. It is possible represent a migration of chelicerates from the sea to the land. In doing so, they have developed a cuticle, which reduces water loss, and their gill-books have become lung books. Arachnid Anatomy Like all arthropods , arachnids have a hard, chitinous exoskeleton and jointed appendages, but unlike most of their relatives true arachnids have no antennae. Their bodies are divided into a cephalotorax and an abdomen. The cephalothorax (or prosoma) is usually segmented and its upper surface is covered with a carapace. The lower region is usually protected by sternal plates. The abdominal segments of most arachnids, apart from scorpions, are fused, and in ticks, mites both the cephalothorax and abdomen have fused to form a single body. The respiratory system of arachnids comprises specialized breathing organs, called lung-books and a network of tracheae (tubes that carry air from the exterior to the internal organs). The circulatory system is usually open, that is, arteries carry blood from the heart into a series of blood spaces - hemocoele. The brain consists of 2 ganglia (bundles of nerve cells) above the esophagus, joined to more ganglia below it. Most arachnids have simple eyes. spiders usually have 8, scorpions 12; even so, their eyesight is, in most cases, very poor.

Meanwhile, Mongoose Publishing 's Starship Troopers: The Miniatures Game refers to them as the Arachnid Empire . In the third film in the franchise , the bugs are referred to as "Archie" , similar to nicknames given to Germans ("Jerry") and the Viet Cong ("Charlie") in their respective wars.

When Johnny Rico and Carmen Ibanez dissect Arkellian sand beetles, the biology teacher states that the Arachnids have millions of years of evolution behind them and are, in the case of survival capability, the perfect species. They have the ability to colonize planets "by hurling their spore into space" and possess a social structure which fits their mental capabilities. As the Arachnid War progressed, it became clear that they have a caste system, with each subspecies filling a specific role.

After the prey is subdued and wrapped in silk, it is dragged to the retreat at the bottom of the web to be consumed. You don't see the spider? Of course not it's hiding at the bottom. Here's one that came out. solpugid Eremobates sp. Also known as "Sun Spiders" these voracious nocturnal predators live in warm, arid regions of the world. Solpugids feed upon a variety of small animals including vertebrates. Solpugids eat much more than other arachnids of comparable size and are thus quite beneficial as a limiting factor for potentially destructive organisms. wolf spider Lycosa sp. Wolf spiders have good vision and swiftly chase down their prey rather than snaring them in a web. The female wolf spider carries her egg sac attached to her spinnerets until the eggs hatch. The young spiders then ride on her back until the first molt of their exoskeleton. velvet mite Dinothrombium sp These quarter inch arachnids emerge following the first heavy summer rains, coinciding with the emergence of winged termites on their nuptial flight. These are the velvet mite's sole food. Termites provide rich nutrients which allow for a brief visit to the surface to feed, mate, lay eggs and return to the soil.
