I had just gotten home and was taking pics of the bristle millipedes that come out at night to browse the lichen on the stonework, when a neighbour, a middle-aged lady I sort of recognized but had never really spoken to, passed by and asked what I was doing, if I was making a movie or whatever. I explained I was looking at bugs and showed her the bristle millipedes. She excitedly said she liked bugs as well, cicadas and beetles and butterflies and such, and we mutually enthused for a few minutes. I guess talking to neighbours is sometimes worth it.

Häufig findet man den Großen Westlichen Bandfüßer (Polydesmus angustus) in der Laubstreu, unter Steinen, Rinde oder an Totholz. Sie besitzen keine Augen, tragen dafür aber eine massive "Ritterrüstung".
