  1. 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.

  4. Bristle millipedes (Polyxenidae) tootling around feeding on crustose lichen. For scale, those are honey locust (_Gleditsia triacanthos_) leaves.

  8. The rain has been a boon for the bristle millipedes (Polyxenidae) on the stone slabs of the walkway walls.

    (Bonus oribatid mite.)

  12. 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!

  17. Good lake visit today

    1. Scenery
    2. The _Bryobia_ clover mites are loving the warm weather.
    3. A linyphiid, I think? Else a theridiid?
    4. A slow-moving (for once) lithobiomorph centipede.

  18. Was going to add the hashtag "InsectSaturday" until I remembered: myriapods aren't insects! Also, now it's Sunday here.

    Anyway, here's my pet house centipede having a bit of homemade peach syrup on a Q-tip. Do try this at home!

  23. in other news, found bristly millipedes (Polyxenida) and snout mites (Bdellidae) on my building's garden wall and was, unfortunately, very weird about it just as neighbours were coming home

  24. #InverteFest humblebrag: looked under a chip of rock and saw two tiny yellow-beige dots that in shape reminded me of aphid fundatrices (though much tinier). Hit 'em with the 24x macro clip-on and discovered they were tiny baby bristle millipedes (order Polyxenida)!!!
