What are Arthropods? Arthropod means “jointed legs.” There are four kinds of arthropods: insects, arachnids, myriapods, and crustaceans.

Insects *An animal is an insect if it has six legs and three body parts. *Insects Lay eggs. They have hard body coverings that protect their insides. Some insects have wings. Grasshoppers are strong jumpers.
