Arthropods
Their are many different types of arthropods. For example the grasshopper, an arachnid, or a crayfish and many more. Each have their own unique adaptations like venom or a hard chitin exoskeleton. Due to the fact that their many different types of arthropods their different habitats are all around the world.
Predators/Prey/Life Cycle
