32, 34, 36, 38, 40.

42, 44, 46, 48, 50.

52, 54, 56, 58, 60.

62, 64, 66, 68, 70.

72, 74, 76, 78, 80.

82, 84, 86, 88, 90.

92, 94, 96, 98, 100!

Now we ain't going to count from 0 to 100 by 10s.

Let's count.

0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100!

Now we're going to count from 0 to 100 by 25.

That equals 12.

All right, let's look at this one.

Three more body parts.

♪ Head Thorax is right in there.

Some have poisonous bite.

Some have a poisonous bite that helps them eat their prey.

This is a black widow.

Others suck blood from larger animals.

And when you go camping you, sometimes you gotta, when you go home, make sure you get check for ticks.

Check your hair.

Make sure you check for ticks, especially when you go camping out in the woods.

If you go in your backyard you're probably good.

Some have pincers and a stinger to catch food and protect themselves.

This is a giant desert hairy scorpion Many arachnids spin web, spin silk to help them capture food.

This is a Golden Silk Spider.

Do you think Spider-Man was an arachnid?

Hm.

They may also use a silk to help them travel.

You see the garden spider?

Or protect their young.

Some mother arachnids care for their eggs or babies.

A few arachnids are too tiny to even be seen, to easily be seen.

To be easily seen.

Can you see him?

Some arachnids may cause harm.

The brown recluse.

Yeah they can hurt you.

You see those, yeah you kill those.

Smack 'em hard.

But most are helpful and should be protected.

That's a daring jumping spider.

What is he doing?

It says arachnids are a class of arthropods, animals with distinctly divided body parts, jointed legs, and they hard outer covering called an exoskeleton.

Scorpions, spiders, ticks and mites and harvest men are arachnid.

Harvest men are often mistaken for spiders are sometimes called daddy long legs.

The brown daddy long legs, like all harvest men is nocturnal.

That means it's active at night.

And it eats small insects and decaying organic matter.
