hemolymph

You might as well say that a train is an arthropod - exoskeletal structure, segmented body plan, the presence of hemolymph...

Not helpers, but blood-sucking (or the bee equivalent to blood: hemolymph) aliens that are causing quite a problem for beekeepers.

The vermigon grows into root-like threads through the host's tissue, centering on the digestive system and especially the hepatopancreas, and absorb nutrients from the hemolymph.

Time is then provided for the muscles to stop seizing, and it is brined to improve texture and to prevent coagulation of the hemolymph to the meat.

A very common adaptation among insects is producing large amounts of polyhydroxy alcohols like glycerol in the hemolymph that acts as anti-freeze or cryoprotectant depending on the species.

Except instead of bleeding to death from the lacerations, the water in their hemolymph diffuses out at a faster rate through the scratches in their cuticle, and they dehydrate to death.

Xenomorphs can be included into the Arthropoda phylum due to the morphological similarities shared with certain terrestrial arthropods such as an exoskeletal structure, a segmented body plan, the presence of hemolymph, etc.

After knibbling a bit on the cockroach's antennae and enjoying the hemolymph seeping out of the cockrach, the wasp takes the cockroach by its antennae and, even though it is much bigger than the wasp, directs it to its nest like a dog on a leech.

The female cypris in Kentrogonida settles on a host and metamorphoses into a specialized juvenile form called a kentrogon, which has no visible segmentation and has no appendages except the antennules that are used to attach itself to the host, and whose only purpose is to inject a cell mass named the vermigon into the host's hemolymph through a retractive hollow stylet on its head.

The female bedbug has no vagina analogue or other opening in which to leave sperm, so the male bedbug just kind of fucks away at her until he pierces or wears a hole in her exoskeleton and injects his sperm into that, where it floats around in her hemolymph until it finds her eggs.

Spiders, the poor beasts, get the worst of our fear because they don't move their legs via muscles like we vertebrates, or even insects, do; their body pumps hemolymph into the legs, forcing them to straighten.

Insects don’t have lungs and an open instead of closed circulatory system, with a tubular “heart” sloshing around hemolymph instead of blood.
