are arachnids and crustaceans related?

Arachnids belong to an even larger group of animals called “arthropods” which also include insects and crustaceans (lobster, crabs, shrimp, and barnacles).

The arachnids (class Arachnida) are an arthropod group that includes spiders, daddy longlegs, scorpions, mites, and ticks as well as lesser-known subgroups.

Crustaceans are aquatic animals that have jointed legs, a hard shell and no backbone, such as crab, crayfish, lobster, prawns and shrimp. Most molluscs have a hinged two-part shell and include clams, mussels, oysters and scallops, as well as various types of octopus, snail and squid.

Trilobites are close relatives of the living horseshoe crabs. Horseshoe crabs are not actually crabs. But, like true crabs, they are arthropods. ... Many scientists believe that the extinct trilobites are their close relatives.

Differing mostly in their body parts, insects, such as ants, flies, wasps and dragonflies, have tri-segmented bodies consisting of the head, thorax and abdomen; crustaceans, such as crabs, lobsters, shrimps and crayfish, have only two body segments — the head and thorax.

Leeches and lampreys are not even related. A leech is a segmented worm (think of earthworms), while a lamprey is a primitive vertebrate (it has a spinal chord, but not a true spine).

As the old version of the story went, arachnids and horseshoe crabs descended from a common ancestor, an aquatic chelicerate of some sort, and then split into sister branches. One lineage quickly moved onto land and diversified into as many as 100,000 species, becoming today's arachnids.

Spiders are also arachnids, but ticks aren't spiders. Spiders' bodies have two segments, the cephalothorax and the abdomen, while ticks' bodies aren't segmented in any way. ... Adult ticks have eight legs, each of which is covered in short, spiny hairs and has a tiny claw at the end.

All spiders and crabs are in the phylum Arthopodia, as are all insects. Arthropods are distinguished physically by the fact that they all have segmented, jointed legs and have an exoskeleton. While both crabs and spiders are grouped in the same phylum, this does not mean that they are necessarily closely related.

Spiders are not an insect, or a mammal nor a reptile. They belong to a separate group called the Araneae. They exhibit characteristics of each of these animal species but don't belong to either of them. They existed in nature for millions of years and are an essential element to our ecosystem.

Invertebrates come in many shapes and sizes and include insects, spiders and scorpions, crustaceans, such as crabs and lobsters, slugs and snails, jellyfish, and worms. Vertebrates are animals with backbones. This group includes reptiles, fish, amphibians, birds, and mammals.

After all, you can tell they're related just by looking at them. Technically, they're not that closely linked, although crabs and spiders are both members of the arthropod family, as are other insects, and lobsters. Basically, they're classed together because they all have exoskeletons and jointed legs.

The nervous system. The crustacean nervous system consists basically of a brain, or supraesophageal ganglion, connected to a ventral nerve cord of ganglia, or nerve centres.

Crabs. Crabs belong to the subphylum Crustacean, the largest group of marine arthropods, which also includes lobster, shrimp, and krill, a shrimp-like crustacean. Crabs move sideways, walking on four pairs of legs, and holding their two legs with claws away from their body.

They're also known as cellar spiders and no, they do not fly. The second are an entire order of arachnids also known as harvestmen, the Opiliones . They're closely related to scorpions and again no, they do not fly.
