Arthropods have an external
skeleton. They are the most abundant animals on earth, but are often
misunderstood. Spiders, millipedes and other arthropods are often
mistakenly referred to as "insects" and "bugs." This poster brings
clarity to the confusion. Each of the five sub-phylum is carefully
explained. Highly detailed illustrations show an incredible 98 species,
many life-size. All are accompanied by common and scientific name.
Insects account for the great bulk of the arthropods and this poster
includes representatives of most orders. The Crustaceans include crabs
and lobsters, but also shrimp, krill and even barnacles. (Yes, a
butterfly and a barnacle are related!) The poster even shows the giant
sea scorpion; this long-extinct animal is the largest arthropod to have
ever lived. It reached a length of six feet. This remarkable poster even
includes the prehistoric trilobites. They were the dominant life form
during the Permian, but were totally destroyed by the mass extinction.
North American species are shown whenever possible. |
