Description
Members of the Spirobolidae family, often known as millipedes, charm us with their multitude of legs, each intricately moving in a wave-like sequence. Contrary to popular belief, these creatures do not possess thousands of legs; the record holder within this family has 750 pairs. These millipedes produce a unique defensive secretion that wards off predators with its noxious chemicals, a fascinating survival tactic.
