myriapod

Oh cool, that's a nice word too. Rolls off the tongue. And yeah, insects = 6 legz.

Also, I just looked this species and according to this article, "there have been only six confirmed sightings of the species in West Virginia: Three in Pocahontas County between 1963 and 1972, one in Mercer County in 1971, one in Monongalia County in 1972, and one in Nicholas County (date unknown)." So that is pretty amazing actually. I have seen them over the past three springs and summers here in WV in our gardens. I would say I have seen at least half a dozen, maybe more. I wonder if it is because we are just over the border from Maryland. The article states that this myriapod exclusively eats fungus. A fungus eating myriapod. Amazing.
