Firstly By having an exoskeleton that means its surface is so tough its like having a skeleton on the out side of your body secondly camouflage this is good for two reasons one it can hide away from preditors and two it can use it to sneek up on its prey . the most important adaption is by having no sweat glands so it doesn't loose excess water though sweating a lot of other animals have these especially animals that live in desserts and other hot places
