A rare and stunning millipede, Nearctodesmus insulanus. It's probably our second-largest local millipede!

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.
It's also Golden Week, so I decided to throw a gold bikini on her :D

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

'on the road'

eigentlich wollte ich da ja SOFORT die springschnecke troet.cafe/@b_age/112540500553 nehmen, aber die hatte ich hier schon mehrfach, damals 😬

auf hier mit recht grob erscheinendem split versehenem asphalt krabbelt ein tausendfüßer von rechts nach links. der split ist aber gar nicht so grob, der tausendfüßer ist nur so klein. das schlauchförmige tierchen läuft auf frei geschätzt um die 100 kleinen beinchen, die hier im gegenlicht der sonne zwischen dem tier und dem von ihm geworfenen schatten als schwarze strichlein zu sehen sind. details der beinchen oder des ganzen tiers gehen im hohen kontrast zwischen dem hellen sonnenlicht und dem schwarz des tieres sowie der schatten unter. oben auf dem tausendfüßer glänzen die ränder der körpersegmente weiß im licht, als sei das tier gestreift, was es aber nicht ist. das ganze bild ist fast schwarz-weiß, auch die wenigen farbigen split-steinchen im asphalt sind eher blass.

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 🤔

Ooh one of the millipedes molted! I can see the white husk down on the side of the terrarium. New pair of legs!

An isopod is already on it. The molt won't last a day, isopods LOVE to eat crunchy exoskeletons, and this biggish millipede skin is a huge score. This must have happened overnight.

The side of a terrarium where the vegetation is pushed up against the glass at the top, over a large section of soil. In the very center is a long segmented white husk of a millipede, recently shed. On the far left of the husk, a gray and white isopod can be seen, lifting its white antennae in the air like longhorns.

außerdem hab ich euch einen putzigen sehr kleinen tausendfüßer, korrekter einen schnurfüßer mitgebracht. was für einer genau lässt sich aufgrund der der kontraststärke im gegenlicht geschuldeten detailarmut nicht sagen.

Millipedes! We have a lot of them, mostly living in the soil and under debris, helping with the breakdown of dead matter. This one is in the family Julidae.

A dark brown, nearly black millipede walks towards the camera across a flat piece of wood. The photo is so close that most of the millipede is out of focus, but its face is visible, with a visor-like dark swathe over its eyes, and two small, hairy antennae gently probing the ground in front of it.

Nice variety out on the cucumber!

Two small white statues of kodama, looking into the center of the photo where a newly dropped slice of cucumber has been covered in different sized isopods. A small millipede is curled into a "C" on the bottom edge of the slice.

A curious little millipede, probably in the Caseyidae family. I always love finding creatures I've never seen before!

A long, pale orange millipede with a rounded carapace and a round, pale head runs across a dark, grainy piece of wood. The ripples in its many legs are visible.

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.

I was visited today by a very cold, very slow #millipede. Something in genus /#Sigmoria/.

(Canon EOS M50, 180mm macro, f/4, f/5)

Close-up of the head of a millipede: black and gray head with long antenna, black plates with orange edges.Close-up of the entire millipede. Notice that there are 2 legs per segment. That how's you know it's a millipede, not a centipede.

Inside a terrarium, close-up of a cucumber slice that is peppered with tiny isopods having a feast. A millipede can be seen on top, rolled up like a numeral 6.

I have a special love for Rhiscosomides meineri, this little millipede. I've been finding them a lot in my local area, and I was the first person to have a confirmed record of it on iNaturalist - I even got to submit the request to add the species to the database!

A peach-coloured millipede with chubby antennae and a pale tan-coloured headpiece that looks like a hoodie. It is curling around as it reverses direction while walking over a piece of wood.
