as the sea-monkeys cured my phobia of fish (long story and true phobia-fainting, sweating,sickness etc) i thought these may help with my dislike of bugs and creepy crawlies. yes i am mental but this will work because it is not in me to neglect a living creature and so if forcing myself to care for some is the only way to learn to appreciate them....then so be it :shock:
ok my millipedes first:

^this is where one has shed it's skin

^and this one is pretending to be a stick, notice the legs are pulled into the body (hence the name :wink: )
they do have names, the 2 millipedes (they are the telodeinopus aoutii variety, often referred to as olive due to their colour) are called Maona and Nawkaw-though only one is pictured; the stick insects are known collectively as "the lady bugs" since they are bugs and all ladies... original i know :lol:
EDITED: forgot to mention a big big thankies to Leanne (plankton) for all her help with the stickies :D
