On the Atherton Tablelands each night comes the thundering sound of thousands of tiny feet galloping across tree trunks in search of a meal. Sixty-two of those tiny foot thwaps are coming from our fiery hero here, who forges relentlessly on despite being big blind. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đź§µ" title="Thread" aria-label="Emoji: Thread"> /1
This millipede, who I& #39;m sorry we& #39;re going to call Darth Maul, is a fierce predator of stationary organic matter. Nothing stands in her way, not even her clustered family members, as she tramples over them like a wave that you shouldn& #39;t??surf on but tbh I haven& #39;t tried. /2
She dresses in red and black, because it makes her look a bit badass, and why wouldn& #39;t you. When threatened, she aggressively curls up into a little ball and waits quietly in this manner to be left alone. Always remember to face the softer, squashier parts to the inside. /3
Are you terrified yet? You should be. One of these segments is probably carrying a lightsaber.
