Indulged in a late night photoshoot with the bristle millipedes (Polyxenida, probably genus _Polyxenus_) that come out to browse on the stone walls around the garden. Saw the absolute tiniest bristlepede ever!

Tapani HopkinsEmil's plus my and Alirezas article is now online 🥳
Quick comparison of two different trap types. Both work, ramp traps caught more #ants 🐜, #beetles 🪲 etc; and pitfalls more #myriapods.
Nothing world-shattering, but useful data for anyone choosing traps.
Will Tuladhar-DouglasFirst rescued #millipede of the spring. There is a very odd combination of mathematical fascination and just plain cuteness to these #myriapods. This particular one was determined to march into a busy road, but seemed happy enough when returned to the undergrowth.
Karawynn Long 🦊✍🏻🏳️🌈😷♿Is there anyone out there who can answer a couple of questions (one real-world, one speculative) for me about centipedes? I have googled the hell out of this but can find no clear answer.
Boosts for visibility appreciated.

Bryan WrightHere's the whole millipede from the preceding post. It's headed away from us (they always are!) so we can't see its face.
When they're on their feet, these guys are always in motion. When they feel threatened they curl into a spiral with their legs on the inside.

What you might see when riding a millipede as it zips across the forest floor.
We have a lot of these in our yard. They sometimes get into the kitchen, where they're chased by curious cats.
