Dorsal view. You can better see its pudgy little body, cartoonish bug eyes, and both antennae.

What you might see when riding a millipede as it zips across the forest floor.

We have a lot of these in our yard. They sometimes get into the kitchen, where they're chased by curious cats.

😍Welcome Mieridduryn bonniae!😍

You know the Cambrian weird wonders Opabinia and Utaurora? With Steve Pates, Joe Botting and Lucy Muir (all not on this app, me as senior author), we found ANOTHER similar fossil but this one is from 40 million years later in the Ordovician 🤯 and the paper is out today in Nature Communications: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-34204-w
