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. Vivid, eye-popping photos and clear, grade-appropriate text will engage emergent and early readers as they learn about the natural habitat, physical characteristics, diet, and behavior of this unique invertebrate.
