\nArthropods inhabit a variety of habitats like oceans (e.g., Limulus), freshwater (e.g., Daphnia), land (e.g., cockroach, locust), air (housefly, mosquito). They are bilaterally symmetrical, triploblastic animals with an organ-system level of organisation and segmented bodies. Arthropods are coelomates due to the presence of a true coelom.
