Creep, Crawl, Slither
Happy Halloween!
Some kinds of arthropods have wings and antennae. The quantity and types of these body parts, and how they are arranged, tell you if an animal is an insect, spider, millipede, or centipede. There are reptiles that also can fly, but they don’t have wings. How many reptiles do you know from British Columbia?
Join curator of vertebrate zoology Dr. Gavin Hanke and curator of entomology, Dr. Joel Gibson for this live program. You'll leave with a new appreciation for animals that creep, crawl, and slither!
