Common asian millipede
Among the lush green leaves, gently swaying in the morning breeze, I spotted a common asian millipede patiently crawling on a thin branch. Its movements were very slow, unhurried. It seemed as if it didn't want to get ahead of time. As I watched, each movement seemed like the subtle chiming of a clock, ticking silently. Slowly, yet successfully moving the world with its gentle, faithful steps.
The common asian millipede is one of the most unique animals I've ever encountered. It has a long body and numerous legs. This number of legs is unique only to animals from the Trigoniulidae family. A super unique family. Not only are its legs fascinating, but the segments along its body are also fascinating, neatly arranged like a string of beads specially designed by time.
After taking the photo, I didn't immediately leave; I was still curious about its many legs. More precisely, I was curious about their movements, whether they were simultaneous or not. Uniquely, the legs all moved simultaneously. If you look closely, the foot movements are very similar to the fingers of a harpist playing the strings. Beautiful and calming.

It also happens to me that when I take pictures of animals like this, I spend a lot of time looking at them whenever possible.
Excellent photos!
By the way, I've never seen a milipede with that size before.
Monday hugs!
It's actually small, but because I zoomed in to the maximum, it looks bigger. Thank you for stopping by.
