They are in the same ...Well, that was interesting. They are in the same family as our little pill bugs here in Texas. It said they can emit a caustic substance that can burn the exoskeletons of ants and other insect predators. The most interesting thing was that some monkeys (Capuchin) have been observed irratating the millipede so as to extract the substance and rub it on themselves to repel mosquitos. Now that is "necessity is the mother of invention" at work! I didn't know monkeys could figure out where to get insect repellent.

I used to hang clothes out on the line, but I guess I got lazy. No, I know I got lazy. I just hate to admit it. It's just so hot hanging them out....of course, in the summer here, they are dry in about ten minutes. It would really pay off. Maybe when I retire or get laid off, which ever comes first,I will try to be more industrious!<br /><br />Are millipedes harmful? No, don't answer that....I'll go look it up. lol You just keep making me look things up. :)_Leave It To Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10510401202733633537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920664877311800383.post-2283426308503135322012-07-17T13:23:59.351-04:002012-07-17T13:23:59.351-04:00Great pictures.
