Building a Critter with Dr. Joel Gibson

Join Curator of Entomology Dr. Joel Gibson for some anthropod making fun.

All anthropods, land critters, are made up of parts (legs, antennae, mouthparts, eyes, wings, body sections). Each of these parts can be in different shapes, sizes, and colours. The number of parts and how they are arranged tells you if a critter is an insect, a spider, a millipede, or a centipede. Let's explore these parts and get creative with builiding a critter and finding out what kind of critter it is.
