Inclusion whit morre than six legs - model 1

The different steps may contain scientific terms which may seem encouraged - I will recommend to search the word on google. Meanwhile, I am looking for pictures to illustrate each step - It is also the intention that these images will illustrate the foreign words. Can you help or do you maybe have access to such images, then I would be very happy to hear from you. Contact me here
