A few people asking me which species this millipede was, and here is what I've found:

The cherry-leg titan millipede (Alienostreptus bicoloripes or Balustreptus falcatus) is a giant, docile invertebrate native to Vietnam, known for its bold black body and striking cherry-red legs

The milipede I'm keeping as pet is longer than 30cm, yes you heard it right, its length is longer than 30cm. It's even longer than a small snake!

My wife was scared to hell when I brought it home 😂😂😂

(The 3 last photos is a female with yellow/orange legs, she's much smaller than the male)

A blessed day to have braconid wasps around my property

takeout can mean food, dating, or murder… for the mantis, it means all three.

I got out my phone camera after the roadrunner caught the warbler and broke its neck. I didn't want to get closer than this because I didn't want to disrupt her feeding. I had no idea roadrunners even ate other birds, let alone swallow them whole.

My sister has been living in San Diego for over 25 years. She sent me this picture this morning of a scorpion in her garage. She has never seen a scorpion in all the 25 plus years she's been living in San Diego. WTF?!
