HMNH+ARTHROPODS

[|HMNH] Hi, my name is Yarisa from the [|Amigos School]. I’m going to talk to you about arthropods. Arthropods are very important in the animal kingdom today; they make up 80% of all the animal species on Earth! They are mostly made up of insects, spiders, and coruscations. Most of them make silk and that is very valuable today. It’s the most traded thing on the china’s silk road; that’s why it’s called that! This arthropod section of the Harvard Museum of Natural History is very interesting. It shows a lot of arthropods. There are butterflies, bees, moths, ants, caterpillars, and more! It tells you about how they live, how they mate, and other little details about their lives. You should really go to the museum. It is located in Boston. You should check it out!

This section is featuring hands-on activities, dramatic specimen displays, colorful video and graphics, and even live animals! This exhibition draws on the latest scientific reasurch to explore arthropods’ extraordinary evolutionary success and their impact on our lives. Evolving for more than 500 million years, these creatures range in size from giant king crabs to microscopic mites and have colonized in every corner of the planet.

Our trip was the best. We saw very cool looking things in the museum. The arthropods are interesting and funny looking! They take up most of our world already, imagen how much they would take up in 1000 years from now. Check them out!
