Found this eastern red centipede coiled around her eggs while I was out looking for millipedes today (mander.xyz)
 

I believe this is Scolopocryptops sexspinosus, the eastern red centipede. Females protect the clutch from predators and mold spores, and some species also protect young after they hatch.

My yard is full of fireflies! (mander.xyz)
 

Hope this is an acceptable contribution here. I've been converting areas of my Midwestern yard to native plant habitat for the past 2+ years. It's sparkling with fireflies tonight while the surrounding grass yards are dark. Gives me a bit of a boost to get ready for tackling the sprouts of pokeweed and thistle tomorrow.

That looks like a Cubaris baby to me! Congrats! And if you found one there are likely more.

Welcome, share your love for pods and pedes! (mander.xyz)
 

Welcome isopod and myriapod enthusiasts! Feel free to introduce yourselves, talk about your keep lists, etc.

I'm located in the midwest and I've been keeping isopods and millipedes for a couple years. I have 30 isopod colonies and 10 millipede colonies. I'm picking up three new-to-me millipede species at a reptile show tomorrow and I'm pretty excited to get them home in their new setups.

I'm excited to be here! (mander.xyz)
 

Hello! I'm part of the reddit exodus. I have a background in biology and I'm into native plants, fungi, molds, reptiles and amphibians, and invertebrates. One of my favorite activities is flipping logs to see what I find, and I've started to clumsily dabble in macro photography.

I also keep about 30 varieties of isopod and 10 millipede species. I'm passionate about ensuring their appropriate care and culture, and about photographing and identifying wild inverts.

I'm hoping to create a community here for isopod/myriapod enthusiasts, and maybe one for canine coat color genetics/dog genetic testing. So far, the fediverse is pretty cool!
