First rescued #millipede of the spring. There is a very odd combination of mathematical fascination and just plain cuteness to these #myriapods. This particular one was determined to march into a busy road, but seemed happy enough when returned to the undergrowth.

Boosts for visibility appreciated.

Here's the whole millipede from the preceding post. It's headed away from us (they always are!) so we can't see its face.
When they're on their feet, these guys are always in motion. When they feel threatened they curl into a spiral with their legs on the inside.

What you might see when riding a millipede as it zips across the forest floor.
We have a lot of these in our yard. They sometimes get into the kitchen, where they're chased by curious cats.

An #introduction:
Voracious learner, spending my time in nature or hunched over a microscope. Interests vary, and widen daily, but mainly based around #botany and #entomology.
Books, music, and history.
