A close-up photo of a very small millipede covered in tufts of bristles that look like curled hairs. The millipede is a pale brown colour, and is short and stubby.

I always enjoy finding Polyxenus bristle millipedes wherever I go! They're so cute.

A short, stubby millipede covered in soft-looking bristles turns to the left as it walks across the surface of a piece of wood. It has a single water droplet suspended on top of its bristles, which is about a quarter of its size.

I love Polyxenus millipedes. Saw this one yesterday!
