It’s Tell a Friend Friday! Please enjoy this picture of Round Lake in Camas, WA that I took while leading a nature tour yesterday evening.

Then tell someone you know about my work–you can reblog this post, or send it to someone you think may be interested in my natural history writing, classes, and tours, as well as my upcoming book, The Everyday Naturalist: How to Identify Animals, Plants, and Fungi Wherever You Go. Here’s where I can be found online:

When disturbed, many millipedes release a chemical defense through tiny pores on the sides of their bodies. The chemicals vary by species, but they can have lots of fun properties like foul smell, toxicity, or causticity (no touchy). Some species even emit hydrogen cyanide. I found this small friend under some bark in a redwood forest. It immediately coiled up into a defensive posture and released its spicy danger sauce. Since species identification often needs a close examination of the genital area, I have no idea what these chemicals do and didn't want to find out. Genus Tylobolus Northern California
