Frank Frazetta and Larry Elmore are widely lauded for founding the tradition of depicting fantasy heroes showing off a lot of leg, but somehow nobody has figured out a millipede could do that a thousand times better than all those bipedal primates.

Nachdem meine Waldschaben ausziehen dürften sind heute gleich ein paar neue #Wirbellose Schützlinge eingezogen.
1. Bild: Hierodula Venosa "goldene Riesengottesanbeterin"
2. Bild: Anadenobolus monilicornis "Bumble-Bee Tausendfüsser"
3. Bild: Pycnoscelus Nigra

Entschuldigt das die Bilder teilweise etwas unscharf sind. Die Fotos sind beim umsetzen entstanden, da wollte ich die Tiere nicht zu sehr mit der Kamer stressen.

Some Cosytober prompts I did the other day. Prompts were cat, ladybug and hedgehog.

Ran across this Black-and-gold Flat Millipede on the trail a couple of weeks ago.

Edit to add #

hey does anyone need any bristle millipedes (Polyxenidae)? i found where they're keeping them all

Here's a creepy critter photo dump. These critters were found by the back porch, except the beetle, which was on our raspberry vines.
1)Yellow-spotted Millipede (Harpaphe haydeniana)
2) Beetle (Helops laetus)
3) Western Carpet moth (Melanolophia imitata)
4) Crane fly (Genus Tricyphona)

This headline had me thinking there was a mountain made of millipedes. I guess a mountain with lots of millipedes on it isn't bad, either. #millipedes #biodiversity #Tanzania

New genus of 'alien-faced' multi-legged forest dwellers discovered
https://phys.org/news/2024-02-genus-alien-multi-legged-forest.html

The trachystreptoform #spirostreptids of the #Udzungwa Mountains, #Tanzania (Diplopoda, Spirostreptida, Spirostreptidae) https://europeanjournaloftaxonomy.eu/index.php/ejt/article/view/2405

"#researchers have uncovered a new genus and 5 #NewSpecies of #millipedes in remote African #jungles—and say the many-legged creatures could hold important clues to whether woody #vines are choking or protecting the world's #forests."

A lovely, yet unfortunate spotting. A giant millipede (family Harpagophoridae) spotted on the Sime Track in the Central Catchment Nature Reserve, Singapore, on 16 Dec 2023. It had suffered an injury. Eventually, it started moving, and I stayed with it, keeping other people moving on the path away from it, until it went into the forest.
