Understanding Arachnida: Facts, Types, and Habitats

Arachnida is a class of jointed-legged invertebrates, also known as spiderlike animals. They have eight legs and a body that is divided into two parts: the cephalothorax (head and thorax) and the abdomen. Arachnids do not have antennae, and their mouthparts are designed for tearing and chewing rather than sucking.
Some common arachnids include:
Spiders (order Araneomorphae)
Scorpions (order Scorpiones)
Ticks and mites (order Acari)
Harvestmen (order Opiliones)
Daddy long legs (order Phalangiidae)
Arachnids are found in a wide range of habitats all over the world, from deserts to rainforests. They play important roles in their ecosystems as both predators and prey, and some species are even considered pests by humans.
