My name is Jan Beccaloni. I work as the curator of arachnids and myriapods. Myriapods are things with many legs centipedes and millipedes. Arachnids are things with two body parts and eight legs. Not just spiders, but scorpions and ticks and mites and other groups like that. So here' s a specimen of a scorpion that' s been in alcohol for over 50 years. People get excited about lions and tigers being predators, and how they capture their food, but for me, seeing a small predator and thinking about how that is the top of its food chain, I find very fascinating. |
