a highlight of my Singapore trip was this fabulous siphonophorid millipede! this super-leggy animal is one of a relatively small group of millipedes to evolve sucking mouthparts. most siphonophoridans I’ve met are tiny but this one was pretty big at some 4cm long.

its face manages to be so cute with just two chubby antennae and a piercing beak! these probably feed on fungal hyphae or some sort of biofilms.

some camera photos of the same suctorial friend:

and a larger one, seen at night on a tree trunk:

Taxonomy Tournament: Arthropods

Xiphosura. This order is made up of horseshoe crabs, marine arthropods whose bodies are covered by a hard carapace. They mainly feed on worms and molluscs on the ocean floor. The blood of some species is harvested for LAL, which is used to detect and quantify bacterial toxins

Diplopoda. This order is made up of millipedes, elongated many-legged detritivores which feed on dead plant matter, though some species eat fungi or drink plant fluid.

more millipede macros from that same rainforest hike, there was such an incredible variety.

Unknown millipedes (3 individuals, class Diplopoda).

[VIDEO AND PHOTOS TAKEN: MAY 13TH, 2023 | Video and Image IDs: A video and two photos of an orange and black red-spotted ant mimic spider in the wet dirt, surrounded by green plants, as well as a comparatively large beige millipede and what appears to be the spider's small round web in the video and latter photo. In the video, the spider is standing on top of the web as the millipede crawls by, the spider touching the millipede a few times with its front legs as it watches it go, but otherwise not interacting much /End IDs.]

Adorable that they curl up like this. Holding one of the oldest land animals in the palm of your hand is a humbling experience. Be gentle with those around you.

the polydesmidan millipede family Paradoxosomatidae is highly diverse in Southeast Asia, and here’s a bunch I saw last year. these first two are from Sarawak, Malaysia, and I have no idea what they are.

many paradoxosomatids are arboreal and some even diurnal, despite belonging to an order that lacks eyes entirely. they can march around with little fear though because like many millipedes, they’re full of foul-tasting toxins that most predators can’t tolerate. they advertise this with bright colors and rippling leg displays, as seen in the video.

the rest are from Singapore; this one is also unidentified.

an Orthomorpha murphyi pair with a little pyrgodesmid passing by.

Opisthodolichopus scandens is nicely marked with pink.

Anoplodesmus sassurei is a very common species in Singapore, and seems to emerge in large numbers on sidewalks after a good rain.

✨ New stickers coming soon - infinity millipedes (infinipedes)! ✨ These will be available in red and rainbow, with the color on each version featuring a shiny metallic effect!

This is based on a sketchbook doodle I did a few years ago and have been meaning to follow up on 🐛

They're already in production and will be available in-person at Anthrocon, then in my shop afterward!

Taxonomy Tournament: Arthropods

Chilopoda. This class is made up of centipedes, elongated many-legged predators. They lack a waxy cuticle present in insects and arachnids, and so avoid sunlight to prevent drying out.

Diplopoda. This class is made up of millipedes, elongated many-legged detritivores which feed on dead plant matter, though some species eat fungi or drink plant fluid.
