Rolling into Spring with Style - Meet the Dynamic Duo of Defensive Balls!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness a fascinating display of self-defense in action. Two adult Common Pill Millipedes, affectionately known as Glomeris marginata, have rolled themselves up into tight defensive balls right in the heart of a garden in Belvedere, Bexley. These adorable arthropods from Kent, England are masters of their craft when it comes to protecting themselves. With their unique curled posture and incredible defensive behavior, they showcase an impressive arsenal against potential threats lurking around. As spring blossoms all around them, these British beauties prove that even the tiniest creatures can possess mighty defenses. Their intricate ball poses and perfectly synchronized rolls demonstrate just how well-prepared they are for any danger that may come their way. With Greater London as their backdrop and nature as their stage, these millipedes remind us that our gardens are not only havens for vibrant flowers but also home to countless remarkable creatures. So next time you spot a peculiar curl or roll in your own garden during this temperate season, take a moment to appreciate the hidden wonders unfolding before your eyes. Let's celebrate the enchantment of English wildlife and marvel at these adults' ingenious defense mechanisms – truly an extraordinary sight captured by FLPA photographer Dave Pressland!
