Max - Size Millipede
We had to be a little cautious on the trail back - several of these millipedes were crossing the trail - nothing like the little ones we have at home - this one is about 6-7 inches long (see the hand in background) - if you touch them they roll into a ball protecting their tiny little feet which you can see marching away under most of the millipe - we thought we had to put this on the blog particularly for Amber or Kyli who are bug lovers for all types of bugs, and for Carolyn who continues to enjoy nature so much. On the same tril we saw a colony of newly hatched millipedes migrating somewhere en masse and there were scads of them about the size of a pinworm...now those were tiny little feet!!!# posted by Ghana Gazette @ 12:02 PM
