🚨 ARTHROPOD OF THE DAY 🚨

Motyxia sequoiae, which are the only known bioluminescent millipedes, are found solely in a small region of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California.

Motyxia's glow warns nocturnal predators that these 60-legged creatures are armed and dangerous; any predator that riles a Motyxia risks being squirted by toxins, including hydrogen cyanide, an extremely poisonous gas, which the millipede releases when it feels threatened.
