Another new species is the Desmoxytes purpurosea, or the “dragon millipede.” Hot pink and spiny, the millipede has glands that produce cyanide for its defence. The report says that “several millipedes were found sitting and moving on limestone rocks and on the leaves of Arenga pinnata palms.”Other links:
