myriapod

1 Hannah Wood, curator of arachnids and myriapods at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History, authored a new paper in the journal Zookeys describing 18 new species of pelican spider from Madagascar.

2 The forest’s primary occupants were millipede-like creatures, called myriapods, and some other primitive insects that may or may not have begun to fly.

3 Once back in Washington, I e-mailed Jonathan Coddington, curator of arachnids and myriapods at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History.

4 In the Scottish Old Red Sandstone myriapods, Kampecaris and Archidesmus, have been described; they are somewhat simpler than more recent forms, each segment being separate, and supplied with only one pair of walking legs.

5 The myriapods offer a good illustration of this rule; but there are some strange exceptions to it—thus Nemerteans, though lowly organised, are said to exhibit little power of regrowth.

6 Remains of air-breathing insects, myriapods and arachnids show that these forms of life were both well developed and individually numerous.

7 Anten�n�, the name given to the movable jointed organs of touch and hearing attached to the heads of insects, myriapods, &c., and commonly called horns or feelers.

8 All myriapods are terrestrial animals and prefer a humid environment.

9 More than a thousand species of insects, and nearly a hundred species of spiders and fifty of myriapods, are found in the remains of the Coal-forests.

10 The thrushes are largely insectivorous, and also are fond of spiders, myriapods, sowbugs, snails, and angleworms.

11 The animal food is chiefly made up of insects, with a few spiders, myriapods, snails, and small vertebrates, such as fish, salamanders, tree frogs, mice, and birds.

12 Full forty kinds of myriapods occur in any area comprising one hundred square miles in the eastern United States.

13 To the housewife, want is an insidious myriapod creature that crawls in the dark, mates with its own offspring, breeds all the year round, persists like leprosy.

14 So, too, myriapods and hydrachnids have at birth three pairs of feet, and resemble at this stage adult insects, which form a higher class.

15 In his first article he mistakes a species of the myriapod genus Glomeris for the isopod genus Armadillo.

16 The quarries are not without animal life,—in the region of the Jardin des Plantes have been found various insects, species of coleoptera, myriapod and thysanoura, and several small crustacea, all more or less blind.

17 It’s also a reminder that we should be working to preserve the habitats that these unique creatures rely on, says Mark Harvey, senior curator of arachnids and myriapods at the Western Australian Museum.

18 Index to the known fossil insects of the world including myriapods and arachnids.

19 Here, prickly-leaved plants had shot to the cornices with uncouth contorting of angled boughs, and in their inner green ruffle-feathered birds looked down on her with the uncanny interest of myriapods.

20 It is quite likely that the damage was done by some myriapod, possibly a Julus, or some of its allies.
