About Me: Hi, I'm Milly! I'm a calm, easy going, Arthropod who is content with the simple things in life - some fresh veggie scraps, moist wood, and a bit of water to drink are all I need. I love meeting new students, and I won't bite or cause harm. I get along well with other millipedes, and enjoy spending time with up to one other millipede in my habitat.
