Writing an Information Report

As part of our writing and WIT we had to choose one of the invertebrate that we found in the Frankley Bush environment and find out information to write a report about it.  I chose Centipedes because they are such fascinating creatures.

Centipedes in the Frankley Bush

Fun fact: Centipedes may have from 15 to 177 legs.

Appearance

Centipedes have long segmented bodies. They are mostly coloured brown. They have many legs and they can grow up to 2.5cm long.

Diet

Centipedes eat spiders, worms and other Arthropods. Some centipedes looks like this:

Protection

Centipedes have poisonous claws so they can protect themselves. Centipedes are hunted by birds, ants, beetles and spiders. They also protect themselves from these predators by curling up into a ball.

They have long bodies and they make homes in the shade so birds can't see them. So even though they are small they have heaps of legs. Centipedes are clever creatures because they know how to curl up in a ball to protect themselves.
