Peripatuses are soft bodied and possess segmental nephridia like annelids but, like arthropods, they possess trachaeae, chitin in the integument and their jaws are modified limbs. Their stumpy limbs (lobopods) are unique in that their muscles work against a hydrostatic skeleton. Their diet consists of crickets, spiders, cockroaches and assorted microfauna

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Velvet worm, also known as Epiperipatus broadwayi. Found exclusively on the picturesque Caribbean island of Tobago, this unique creature belongs to a group called Peripatuses. Despite their soft-bodied nature and possession of segmental nephridia similar to annelids, these fascinating organisms exhibit arthropod-like characteristics such as trachaeae, chitin in their integument, and jaws that are modified limbs. One distinctive feature of these creatures is their stumpy limbs known as lobopods. What sets them apart is how their muscles work against a hydrostatic skeleton, creating an intriguing mechanism for movement. This adaptation allows them to navigate through various terrains with ease. In terms of diet, Velvet worms have quite an appetite! Their menu consists of crickets, spiders, cockroaches, and assorted microfauna found within their habitat. This diverse range of prey ensures they receive all the necessary nutrients for survival. The stunning image captured by Science Photo Library not only highlights the beauty of this velvet worm but also provides valuable insights into its anatomy and behavior. It serves as a testament to the wonders found in nature's vast tapestry and reminds us that there is still much to discover about our incredible world.
