Manvir Toor Arthropods

The three distinct features Arthropods have is that they all have a bilateral symmetry, they have an open circulatory system and they have simple tubes. 

An interesting arthropod I found was the praying mantis. It is an arthropod because its an insect, it has 6 legs, it has an exoskeleton and it is an invertebrate which means it has a backbone. The praying mantis also has a segmented body. 


Interesting facts: 
-Can turn their heads from side to side at 180 degrees
-Their eyes can see movements from 60 feet away
-Over 1,500 species of praying mantis world-wide
