In Prophecy #72, the MCs go to a city-state that uses what look like horse-sized millipedes as beasts of burden. The normally strong-stomached Alakshi feels sick when she looks at them.

Day 29
The tough, the squishy, just don't tell them that they're spineless, it's invertebrates day! They're (usually) smol but they work real hard in their colonies, weaving webs, etc., so what sorts do you have?

it's a word specifically for centipedes and millipedes because they're all-legged meaning no parts without legs
Still disappointed that "alleged" doesn't mean "with legs"

myriapoda like millipedes are such a funny example of one of life's great truths which is that biology loves cases where you make one thing and just accidentally make more of it and it turns out it works. if i can make one leg segment i might as well make 50

Ooh millipedes are so so cute, I'm thinking of those as my next invert! There are really big bois in my neighborhood, in the big empty field, I brought one back to take photos of it one time (too dark outside lol) and then returned it. Kinda wanna keep one though. Such sweethearts.

Three millipedes, mid-motion, mid-life—paused not by death, but seemingly by time itself.
Amber doesn't just preserve prehistoric life. It preserves moments.
This is one of four pieces I acquired last night on TikTok, and while I love every piece I snagged, this one truly takes my breath away. 💛

Rare Florida scrub millipedes reproduce in captivity for the first time
Before scientists even knew how many Florida scrub millipedes were left in the wild, a quiet breakthrough happened in a University of South Florida lab.

Cool observation. Maybe Rettenmeyeria or Calymmodesmus (Polydesmida, Pyrgodesmidae). There is a paper by Rettenmeyer that says the millipedes follow the chemical trails and the ants even carry them along. They suggest that the millipedes may be beneficial to the ants. www.jstor.org/stable/25083...
