The Shocking Pink Dragon Millipede(Desmoxytes purpurosea) is a spiny and toxic millipede named for its vivid pink color. The adult millipede is approximately 3cm long and lives in the open on leaf litter. The millipedes have glands that produce hydrogen cyanide to protect them from predators, a fact advertised by their aposematic color. Because they produce cyanide, they smell like almonds.

Here is an African giant millipede. I just love the long, pencil shapes of these creatures. I thought I only liked them curled up, but live and learn. Thank you http://www.flickr.com/photos/berniedup
