Seek: Predators with Exoskeletons Challenge

This Nature Challenge was created by Seek (by iNaturalist):

Your mission:

All arachnids have eight legs. Did you know that not all arachnids are spiders? Mites and ticks, harvestmen (also known as “daddy longlegs”), and even tiny, overlooked pseudoscorpions are also arachnids that can be found on all inhabited continents. Other arachnids like scorpions, whipscorpions, tailless whipscorpions, and solifuges are generally found in warmer and/or drier parts of the world.

Find 4 arachnids!

What is Seek? And how do you get started?

Seek (by iNaturalist) is a kid-safe app that helps you explore nature and get to know your local species!

Seek identifies and names plants, animals, and fungi by using the camera on a phone or tablet device. Seek also provides facts about the species you observe to deepen your understanding.

You can use Seek anywhere! Try your backyard, local park, or a nature reserve. Exciting new challenges are released monthly.

To try Seek, ask your parent or educator to visit the iNaturalist website. Or, they can click here for more information.
