Description
The Rhinocricidae, often underappreciated, are fascinating creatures that possess unique quirks which set them apart from other invertebrates. These millipedes are not only intriguing due to their vividly striking appearance but also for their chemical prowess - they can emit irritating substances as a defense mechanism against predators. This often leads to the misconception that they are venomous, which is not the case. Their ability to produce these compounds is more about protection through irritation rather than venomous harm.
