Description

This millepede is about the size of an average woman's pinkie finger
It is black in the middle and its edges are yellow
The millepede began to act dead by crawling itself into a small little round circle when I was about to touch it. This can conclude that this small living creature has abilities to think and process it out through it's mind!
It's is quite slow and lives inside leaves to cover itself
When the millepede was flipped around, it was unable to move but when flipped back, it begins to move around like normal again

This brown beetle that I saw had some extremely interesting features. Most of its body, including its underside, was light, shiny brown. However, its head and legs were dark brown, in fact, they were substantially darker than the rest of the body. This beetle also had a cool, almost scarab-like design on its back.
