At zero hundred hours I awoke after only five minutes of sleep to to find a four legged insect biting my hand. I assumed it was a tick but I was wrong, the little blighter only had one pair of legs! I googled and googled but could only find insects with three pairs of legs, I scratched my head for five minutes in wonder as everyone knows adult ticks have eight legs, but never nine. The Female Strepsiptera has zero legs, thats right,zero legs! goodness knows how it gets about? you would have assumed it needed at least two legs. Anyway, after another five minutes on google I found four more insects that have eight legs. Scorpions and Spiders for example have eight legs, but the sneakiest insect of all in my opinion is defiantly the eight legged TICK!!
