Description: Article by William Amos on millipedes, their many legs and their reproductive lives.
by William H. Amos, Vermont, USA A fast-running centipede gives people the willies, and rightly so when one encounters a giant venomous centipede skittering about in the tropics. Ask my wife about nearly stepping on a ten-incher in our cottage in Hana, Maui. In no uncertain terms you'll learn her opinion of these unlovely creatures—and of me: how upon being urgently summoned in the middle of the night, I trapped the monster in a wastebasket, took it outside, and released it unharmed on a lava rock wall. (My philosophical proclivities didn't make much headway with her on that occasion.)
