Arthropods - nowhere closer
Categories: Animals | Microworld
By Pictolic https://mail.pictolic.com/article/arthropods-nowhere-closer.htmlArthropods are invertebrate animals with an external skeleton, a divided body and jointed limbs. These include all insects, arachnids and crustaceans. Their body is made up of repeating segments, each with a pair of limbs. Due to their diversity, they have become one of the most numerous animals on our planet. There are over a million described species - more than 80% of all known living things on the planet. We bring to your attention the most detailed pictures of arthropods made under the US Bee Inventory and Monitoring Program. You haven't seen them like this before!
