Pet millipede

Milipede-really nice pets! We had 2 for a few weeks on loan from the children's museum. I want to get another again sometime (maybe when we don't have a dog).

As humans, we take a lot of pride in how much we’ve accomplished in such a short period of time. We continually pat ourselves on the back for our achievements, and overall greatness as human beings. But there comes a point where we need to realize that we aren’t the Alpha and the Omega, and certainly not the Alpha; this world has long been teeming with societies that can boast accomplishments we can only see in a magnifying glass. These miniature societies have managed to survive and outlast…

Pill millipedes are any members of two living (and one extinct) orders of millipedes, often grouped together into a single superorder, Oniscomorpha. The name Oniscomorpha refers to the millipedes' resemblance to certain woodlice (Oniscidea), also called pillbugs or "roly-polies". However, millipedes and woodlice are not closely related (belonging to the subphyla Myriapoda and Crustacea, respectively); rather, this is a case of convergent evolution.
