Peripatus are neither insects or worms - they are so unique that, like the tuatara, they belong in a group of their own. Their bodies are segmented like worms but they have antennae and claws like insects. There are five known species in New Zealand: Peripatoides novaezealandiae, Ooperipatellus insignis, Peripatoides indigo, Peripatoides suteri and Ooperipatellus nanus. http://stamps.nzpost.co.nz/Cultures/en-NZ/Stamps/StampsHistoricalIssues/1997/Creepy+Crawlies.htm
