This publication provides several examples of invasive plants for our area, specifically for zones 5 and 6 of the United States Department of Agriculture’s “hardiness zones” chart.

Phylum Arthropod

Member of the Phyllum Arthropoda can be found in the seas, in fresh water, on land, or even flying freely; a group with amazing differences of structure, and so abundant that all the other animals taken together are less than 1/6 as many as the arthropods. Well-known members of this group are the lobsters, crayfish and crabs; scorpions, spiders, mites, ticks, the centipedes and millipedes; and last, but not least, the most abundant of all, the insects.

The Phylum Arthropods consist of the following classes: arachnids, chilopods, diplopods, crustaceans and hexapods (insects).
