  2. -Centipedes and millipedes have segmented bodies and many pairs of legs.
    -Centipedes are carnivores, and they inject venom into their prey to kill it before they eat it. They also can use this venom for self defense.
    -Millipedes mostly eat dead or decaying organic matter and have no venom or stinger to attack with.

  5. 1.Scorpions are deadly arthropods. These venomous critters kill more than 1,000 people annually. Scorpion mothers are not-so-good mothers. If young scorpions stay on the mother’s back too long, she might eat them.
    2.Christmas Island Red Crabs are amazingly fantastic arthropods. Incredible it seems but there can be up to 120 million individuals in a swarm. They gather on the beach of Christmas Island to mate.
    3.Male Fiddler Crab has two uneven claws, a big one and a small one. The big claw is for fighting and the small claw is for eating.
