Roughly half of the lifeforms alive today on earth are insects. As wildly different as they are in appearance, behavior and the habitats where they live, they all have certain things in common: they all have an exoskeleton made of chitin, three pairs of legs, three main body parts (head, thorax and abdomen), compound eyes and one pair of antennae. It is believed that there are over a million species found around the world. That's a lot of bugs!

Scorpions are a fascinating group of arachnids that are very easy to identify: two claws in the front and a venomous stinger held up from behind and above its body. Modern day scorpions have evolved from massive eight-foot marine ancestors, and have a fossil record that stretches back 430 million years. They are now found all over the world except Antarctica.

Also called camel spiders, wind scorpions, or sun spiders - these secretive and seemingly ferocious invertebrates are not commonly seen, and are distinguished by their two large chelicerae (think "mouth-claws") that rip their often still-living prey to pieces as it slurps the liquids into its mouth.

Spiders are the most common type of arachnid found around the world, with roughly 3400 species found in North America alone with a fossil record that dates back a staggering 400 million years! All true spiders produce silk, and most species have venom that both kills and liquifies their prey.
