Scientists Discover What the Head of Arthropleura, the Largest Bug, Looked Like
Oct 9, 2024, 06:40 PM
Scientists have discovered what the head of Arthropleura, the largest bug to ever crawl the Earth, looked like. Using two 300-million-year-old specimens, researchers found that the head of this giant arthropod exhibits features that make it a hybrid between a millipede and a centipede. This new research offers a more complete view of Arthropleura’s background, providing insights into its diet and habitat. The findings were published in this week’s issue of Science Advances @ScienceAdvances.
