just a few geophilomorph centipedes today

found nearly anywhere with soil (their name means earth-lovers), these are the most successful and species-rich order of centipedes.

you’re unlikely to see any unless you dig, and this bunch was sifted out of old soil and put in a container for release. while geophilomorphs are caring mothers that guard their many babies, these juveniles and adults wouldn’t likely be associated so closely or touching one another naturally—but given that I only inspected three small pots, can coexist at very high densities!

spare a thought for this poor naive Lithobius who, in its panic and hubris, allowed itself to be scooped up by a leaf and dangled in front of me so i could get a look at its ridiculous face and forcipules. no more running for you, let alone scuttling or even skittering
