Arthropoda is the largest, most varied plum that there is. It contains over a million species and accounts for more than three quarters of all known biological species. Like chordates, the whole phylum hold one single basic body plan. All of them have a stiff exoskeleton that is capable of growth but is not capable of flexibility or any other form of activity where it needs flexibility. This contains insects, spiders, crabs, etc and a million more different species!

Spiders have many ways to move around and communicate. They can walk, run, jump, balloon, etc. Some can do all, however some are just capable to do one way of movement. Even in some species founded in 2009, they can even tumble.
Spiders have eight legs that allow them to do many things. Small and thin spiders are able to do things naturally, while bigger, heavier spiders use hydraulics to shoot their legs up when they need to do something.

Bees only have one route of locomotion, the aerial route. The most notable and charming factors of the bee is the ability to move its wings at an outrageous speed. According to researchers, the ability that these bees have is due to their tiny and light body.
Bees have to be incredibly muscular to be able to flap their wings at such a speed. The wings flap at about 230 bps (beats per second). Even though the fruit fly is smaller than the bee, the fruit fly only goes 200 bps. This just goes to show the strength of the bee.

Shrimps are a very weird type of locomotion. The shrimps body is long and narrow and slightly compressed on the sides. They usually use their body type as an advantage by basically burying themselves in the sand or mud beneath the water.
Shrimps are swimmers, unlike crabs and lobsters. They are no longer than 8 inches. Like the bee with flight, the small body allows them to swim faster.
