Habitat
Arthropods have adapted to all habitats from aquatic to terrestrial.
Example of habitats would be the ocean, forest, desert, inside of the earth, etc.
Adaptations
In order for arthropods to survive where it lives it has to adapt to the conditions. Depending on location, what it eats, and living standards, etc.
Aquatic Arthropods have gills to breath with in water and sensory organs to detect prey and predetors all around their bodies, and mandibles. Some have claws to rip apart there prey like a lobster while others may be filter feeders.
Arthropods that live in colonies have to have special ways to communicate to each other, take the bee for instance it has diffrent dances by movin it self in certain directions ex. the round dance is used to tell other bees it has found food within 50m of the hive.
Some arthropods camouflage themselves for protection of surprise attacks on the prey for example if a stick grasshopper was on a pile of leaves many would think it was a branch instead of an animal.
These are only some examples, there are a wide range related to all parts of their body, size, amount of legs, etc.
