Thanks!! I am excited to see how many there are. :biggrin:Sweet! Congrats
Thanks. The picture does not capture it but their exoskeletons always look like black motor oil.
Yeah in some ways it does look like oil, but you can see the segments in between, they are nice though.
Thanks! Don't you have a bunch of baby trains? I don't have any trains.
Ya! I saw those pics. Wow! Sometimes flat millipedes are refereed to as "train" millipedes. Obviously, it is not a scientific term. : )What do you mean by trains?
I just found tons of baby Euryurus leachii
haven't heard that. Thanks. They release a stinky chemical?Ah ok.
When I first looked in, I thought it was fruit fly maggots. Then I took a closer look. They were making their way down from a bill pile of frass. I'm guessing they laid their eggs in with it.
Let me know if you want some for your collection. I can try and find some adults or see of these little ones make it.
They can put off a pretty good stink
And it can give you a hell of a headache if you accidentally take a big wiff of it. Caught one the other day and I brought it home so I could look it up online and see what it is(I'm very new to the invert hobby) and when I got back and opened up the catch cup I smelled something funny and stupidly inhaled deeply, instant headacheHaha yeah if you mess with them it can be pretty strong. It's like a sharp smell, I can't explain it.
Wow! I did not know that this species chemical defense was so volatile (i.e., will vaporize).Haha yeah if you mess with them it can be pretty strong. It's like a sharp smell, I can't explain it.
Bummer...but good to know. : )
They must have an added chemical component that increases volatility. My species (not trains) will release but I have never had a strong vapor associated with it unless I stick my nose really close to the chemical. I know these chemicals are toxic but is there any research on if they are hallucinogenic or not...my fellow millipede lickers...? ; )
lol..." Hey! That guys acting like he just huffed a bunch of millipedes." lol...Haha maybe put a bunch in a bag and huff them
Went out looking today and all of my favorite spots have been taken over by ants. :/
