Showing the Head of the Giant Arthropleura: A Look at Ancient Giants.

There was once a very big bug that lived a long time ago. It was almost 9 feet long and had many legs.

Scientists found fossils of these bugs, but they were missing heads. The bugs shed their skin as they grew, leaving behind empty shells.

But recently, scientists found some smaller, complete fossils of these bugs. These fossils showed the bugs had round heads with antennae and eyes like crabs.

The bugs are called Arthropleura, and they were related to crabs, spiders, and insects. They had bodies like millipedes but heads like centipedes.

Scientists used special technology to study the fossils without damaging them. This helped them learn more about what these giant bugs looked like millions of years ago.
