Hey @beleth-gnat.bsky.social drew me a picture of The Millipede! Go check her art out!

And go read Diplopoda Dawn for free if you want to know his origin story as #2 to The Centipede.

Quick shot of an Ivory millipede juvenile (Chicobolus spinigerus "Miami, FL") half coiled up just kind of chilling.

A couple Benoitolus sp. "Khao Sok" with a UV light shining showing how they biofluoresce. You can see how the leaf causes a shadow from the UV flashlight.

Grabbed a few pictures of a Benoitolus sp. "Khao Sok" millipede. Also took one half illuminated with a UV light to show how this species will fluoresce.

The coloration of the legs/feet of this millipede is mesmerizing (Chicobolus spinigerus "Brooksville, FL")

Here is a better photo that I took of the Brooksville, FL locality of Chicobolus spinigerus.

This (Ivory Millipede) locality with the prominent purple striping are from Elliot Key, FL

It is very interesting to me how different the morphology is of Ivory Millipedes (Chicobolus spinigerus) depending on the specific local population they come from. These are all Ivory Millipedes, with this first group of lighter colored ones from Miami

In der kalten Jahreszeit widme ich immer gerne dem Bodenleben. So sind die feinen Strukturen eines zusammengerollten Doppelfüßers immer wieder schön anzusehen.

Young adult male Chicobolus spinigerus "Elliot Key, FL" millipede foraging for snacks. Ivory millipedes are one of the most surface active and personable species of millipedes I have encountered.

Almost forgot today is Ball Hoffman Day. Happy bday to the late great taxonomists George Ball (Carabidae) and Richard Hoffman (Diplopoda and everything-Virginia), both born on 25 Sept., 99 and 98 years ago, respectively.

Favorite Milli species, I wonder if anyone has done research on the super localized color variations, since that seems pretty unusual in diplopoda (having so much variation esp.)

Copulatory structures of #diplopoda are amazingly complex and Birk Rillich presented their functional #morphology in the species Acanthopetalum carinatum at #dzg2025

Some good looking Giant African Milliedes!
S. Fisheri

They are excellent outreach animals and a crowd favorite!

I came into bsky passionate about diplopoda and to a lesser degree isopoda, but accounts like yours and @apsciencebylyn.bsky.social have made me begin to absolutely adore hymenoptera
