- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about insects and spiders in Georgia. Insects and spiders are invertebrates that belong to the phylum Arthropoda, which also includes such animals as millipedes, lobsters, and crabs. The arthropods represent both the largest number of species on Earth (approximately four-fifths of all known living species) and the largest number of individual organisms. Like all other arthropods, insects and spiders are characterized by segmentations, chitin exoskeletons, and appendages. Insects and spiders are crucial contributors to their local environments, and they affect agricultural efforts wherever food and fiber are grown.
