  1. 🐛💦 Oh, the thrill of discovering that ancient creepy crawlies were strutting their stuff underwater—until your request gets stonewalled by an overzealous digital bouncer. 🛑 Apparently, #millipede #evolution isn't the only thing stuck in the mud. 😂

  2. One of two millipede species collected during the survey (this one was discovered in Battambang in 2024), the vivid colouring of the Orthomorpha battambangiensis probably indicates that these millipedes are poisonous or, at the very least, unappetising for potential predators.

  7. Exploring on a rainy spring day found a really cool fungus, eating a log, being eaten by a colony of really cool millipedes. What a nice day :3

    The fungus is violet crust (Phlebiopsis crassa) and the millipedes are feather millipedes (Brachycybe lecontii).

  12. den #BugOfTheDay macht heute ein tausendfüßer, genauer ein schnurfüßer :3

    laut iNat ein
    Megaphyllum unilineatum
    de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schnurf%

    ich hätte ja gedacht es sei ein sandschnurfüßer, aber dann müsste er 2 statt nur 1 linie auf dem rücken haben 🤷

    Here's a fascinating macro shot of two brown millipedes curled up in a curious pose! Is it love or war? #millipede #macrophotography #bugslife #nature #arthropod #closeup #TTMO #CreepyCrawlies #love #war

  15. CW: Huge Naked Anthro Bug Titties.

    Theme of the Month over at my Discord server is "Bugs"!

    This time going for an actual insect lol
    This is an Arthropleura gal, a giant millipede from the Carboniferous Period.

    I wonder if I should keep her as an OC, she'd need a name.

  16. I lifted a bark and then found the smallest #millipede we have in Central Europe:

    Polyxenus lagurus (Polyxenida: Polyxenidae)

    Size is only 2-3 mm 📏
    It seems to use bark beetle tunnels 🤔

  17. Flat backed millipede and springtail in Stanley Park!
    Catching the millipede while it was sitting still was probably the most difficult part of this - it kept running around and making my photos blurry.

    There is something a bit H. R. Giger about these things.

  19. Wow. Just... Wow.

    This absolute stunner is a 'bristly' or 'pincushion' millipede (order Polyxenida).

    Those distinctive bristles are a defensive structure, as they can break off and get stuck in predators' mouthparts!

  20. Two #Mazothairos chase off a passing #Meganeura in a late Carboniferous swamp, startling a little #Archaeothyris. A #Sclerocephalus crawls ashore a little ways away, not realising there's a hidden #Arthropleura right there.

    I've never really drawn paleoart set in the Carboniferous before, so I thought I'd start with the very basic 'giant bugs flying around in a swamp' trope.

    Forgot to post this creepy crawly I found in the yard the other night. #myriapod #millipede #bugphotography
