Saw this cool millipede (might be a a yellow-spotted millipede? Harpaphe haydeniana?) in a little day hike last Sunday. Ended up seeing several, but they were so cool.

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.

How poison #frogs built a chemical weapons system one step at a time https://phys.org/news/2026-04-poison-frogs-built-chemical-weapons.html
Experimental evidence supports gradual #evolution of alkaloid sequestration in poison frogs: Adriana Jeckel et al. https://royalsocietypublishing.org/rspb/article/293/2067/20253144/480951/Experimental-evidence-supports-gradual-evolution
"toxins released by #PoisonFrogs, #alkaloids, are derived from their diet in the wild, consisting of specific #ants, #mites, #millipedes, & #beetles... the process developed gradually over time, with poison frogs slowly adapting to increasingly toxic diets"

Die kleinen füsschenschlangen sind heute irgendwie ziemlich aktiv 🥰
Normalerweise sind sie ja sonst eher im dunkeln unterwegs. -

🦊🐛 In the forests of #Madagascar, #lemurs have learned to use #millipedes as a specialized form of #medicine.
By gently biting the #insects, the #primates trigger the release of defensive #chemicals that act as a potent repellent against #malaria-carrying #mosquitoes. The lemurs rub the secretions into their fur and even ingest small amounts to treat internal parasites. The toxins cause a brief, trancelike state.

A small millipede (species unknown) crawling around outside a house in Tamil Nadu. It would lift and droop and move its two short antennae as it ambled along.

Visible here is a #Julida #diplopode, a taxon with ca 750 species worldwide. #Diplopods are important decomposers of #deadwood or #leaflitter; their high food requirements and corresponding excrements make them important #humusproducers. Despite the name #millipedes, almost all diplopods have no more than 750 #legs. An exception is #Eumillipes #persephone (Siphonotidae) described by P. E.Mark et al.(2021),with 1,306 legs.
