The phylum Mollusca appears to consist of an odd assemblage of animals, yet all have the same
basic body plan. Next to the arthropods, molluscs are the most abundant species of
invertebrates. Estimates of the number of living species range up to 130,000. Because of their
great abundance and the durability of their shells, molluscs have always played a significant role
in human society, not only as food, but as tools and utensils, in ornaments and jewelry, in art,
mythology and religion, and even as currency.

An easy going, highly informative interactive narrative linked to a very extensive supplemental text
provides easily accessible, near encyclopedic information about every animal—right at the user’s
fingertips! Additional interactive features access over 90 questions with explanations, automatic
quizzes and a customized glossary.

This program presents detailed coverage of such molluscs as chitons, abalones, limpets, cowries,
periwinkles, conches, cones, whelks, murexes, nudibranchs, sea hares, land snails, slugs,
bivalves, octopuses, nautiluses and squids; segmented worms such as featherduster, myxicola,
earthworm and leech; and tardigrades or waterbears. Animals were photographed live, and
scientific names are provided.

The significance of the class Insecta, the largest and most familiar class of arthropods. The 34
orders of insects contain over a million species which inhabit almost every nook and cranny on
earth. Three out of four species of animals belong to the phylum Arthropoda, yet only insects, of
all the Arthropoda, have attained the ability to fly. This colorful and unique program il-lustrates the
great range and variety of insect adaptations, elaborately details their development and anatomy,
and portrays their great diversity. Photographic coverage of live insects is very comprehensive and
wide-ranging. Scientific names are provided. Some of the impact insects have on humans, and
even some folklore, is also presented.

An easy going, highly informative interactive narrative linked to a very extensive supplemental text
provides easily accessible, near encyclopedic information about every animal—right at the user’s
fingertips! Additional interactive features access over 100 questions with explanations, automatic
quizzes and a customized glossary.

Among the many insects and insect stages covered in this program are beetles, silverfish,
springtails, caddisflies, dragonflies, mayflies, grasshoppers, cockroaches, mantis, walking stick,
termites, lice, true bugs, cicadas, aphids, ladybird, dobsonfly, long-horned pine sawyer beetle,
dung beetle, moths, butterflies, mosquitoes, maggots, horsefly eye, fleas, bees, egg, larva, pupa,
cacoon and caterpiller. Differences in development and types of metamorphosis provide the basis
for insect classification into subclasses. These variations are presented here as well. In addition,
the physical and functional differences that occur in social insects like termites, ants and bees
resulting in castes, are also detailed.

PART IV: NONINSECT ARTHROPODS AND ECHINODERMS

Three out of four species of animals belong to the phylum Arthropoda. Arthropods range in size
from mites that measure less than 0.1 mm in length, to giant crabs whose leg span may exceed
1.5 m. Arthropods are found in virtually all habitats, and include free living forms as well as both
internal and external parasites. Insects, spiders, scorpions, lobsters, shrimp and millipedes are
some more familiar arthropods. A companion CD-ROM covers the Insects.

An easy going, highly informative interactive narrative linked to a very extensive supplemental text
provides easily accessible, near encyclopedic information about every animal—right at the user’s
fingertips! Additional interactive features access over 90 questions with explanations, automatic
quizzes and a customized glossary.

This program first surveys the remaining 11 classes of arthropods. There are about 88,000
species of noninsect arthropods--an important collection of animals. Some are aquatic, some
terrestrial, but unlike the insects, none can fly. These include krill, shrimp, lobster, crayfish,
crabs, spiders, scorpions, mites, ticks, millipedes, centipedes and some less well-known groups.
Scientific names are provided.

Next we examine the phylum Echinodermata which includes starfish, sea cucumbers, brittlestars,
crinoids, sand dollar and sea urchins.

Arthropods and echinoderms represent two extremely diverse and numerous groups of animals
that have successfully adapted to a variety of habitats. They are the most complex invertebrates,
and form an important stage in the evolution of vertebrates, animals with backbones.
