Discovery School - Jeff Corwin Experience: Insects and Arachnids
How do spiders and other arachnids differ from insects? Travel around the world with Jeff to learn the answer. You'll visit Spain for a look at the dung beetle, Morocco to view scorpions, and Africa to observe termites.
If you see a scorpion crawling close to you, watch out! This spooky-looking creature can do some serious damage. It has a poisonous stinger at the end of its tail that can be very painful - and sometimes even deadly - for an unlucky recipient. This is just one of the startling facts children will discover as they explore the strange and unusual world of this creepy crawler.
