A bee is an example of an arthropod because its body is segmented, has jointed appendages, has a segmented coelomate, and a chritinous exoskeleton. It is in the process of sucking nutrients from the flower. Because it gains nutrients by sucking fluids from other organisms, it would be labelled as a fluid feeder. The bee would also be considered an organism with an open circulatory system because it's hemolymph (equivilent of blood) is not contained in vessels, but it interacts with the organs directly.
