Bigelow's ligament

Bigelov's ligament (Lampromantis bigelovi) is a species of arthropod belonging to the family Lampromantidae - a small centipede growing from 3 to 7 cm in length. This is a very rare creature that can only be found in one region of South America, Brazil. They live in various reservoirs, forest streams and swamps. This species was discovered by American researcher Edwin Walter Langtry in 1928 and named after the American entomologist Lyman Bigol, who initiated the study of this species. The Latin name Lampromantis is from the word lampra (centipede) and the word mantis (mantis).

Bigelov's ligaments are characterized by having a short skull with two yellow eyes, front and back. They also have four pairs of legs, three pairs of which are capable of grasping objects and helping them move along a surface. Thanks to this, they can easily move on the ground and even jump over obstacles up to 20 cm high. Moreover, a bunch of Bigels can move through trees like a skilled caterpillar, and their ability to breathe aquatic air makes them one of the most unique creatures on the planet. They feed on small aquatic organisms and are themselves a source of food for other creatures.

Fortunately, the Bigel bunch are not "monsters" from horror films, although they do look quite sinister. In nature, these creatures are quite common, and
