Shocking Pink Dragon Millipede
Do you love Millies? Or want to have one without the hassle of actually keeping one healthy and happy and to live comfortably in the knowledge that it won't someday try to crawl into your bed? How about a rare, "recently" discovered millipede from Thailand that looks fierce and is probably really unethical, if not actually illegal to have as a pet? How about if it was larger than a Giant American Millipede?
Well, let me introduce to you my extra-large Shocking Pink Dragon Millipede!
Desmoxytes purpurosea was "discovered" in 2006 in a limestone cavern in Thailand and is colloquially known in English as "Shocking Pink Dragon Millipede". They're actually only 30 centimeters long (1.2 inches) but my version is a whopping 20+cm (9inch) long from tail to antennae tip.
