Those cautionary bug colors!
“The thumb-sized millipede that crawls around the forest floor of Southwest Virginia’s Cumberland Mountains has six color combinations, more than any other millipede discovered. Apheloria polychroma, as the millipede is known, also has an enviable trait in the animal world — it’s covered in cyanide, ensuring any bird that snacks on the colorful but lethal invertebrate won’t do it a second time.”
