Overview

Centipedes are some of the world's most fascinating bugs! This book's easy-to-read text and larger-than-life color photos bring the centipede's world to life, introducing readers to a centipede's diet, habitat, enemies, and methods of defense. Diagrams help readers investigate the concept of metamorphosis and identify body parts, from the centipede's poisonous fangs to its many legs. The digestive, respiratory, and circulatory systems are also described. A step-by-step approach to scientific classification helps place centipedes within the class Chilopoda. Readers are also encouraged to consider the benefits and drawbacks of centipedes, as well as how they impact our daily lives. From house centipedes to tiger centipedes, young entomologists will enjoy uncovering the lives of these amazing creatures. Informative sidebars and Bug Bytes aim to peak readers' interest, while bolded glossary terms, phonetic spellings, and an index enhance readability. Checkerboard is an imprint of ABDO Publishing Company.
