Through all my writing in steemit I hope to contribute in the development of platform steemit specially and science in general.

The unique animal we will be talking about is called Polydesmida. an interesting name is not it? like the title of the post that we lift, this animal does have a lot of kai and a stunning shape with contrasting colors.

What is Polydesmida

---

based on the literature I studied this animal named Polydesmida. according to wikipedia

Polydesmida (from the Greek poly "many" and the "bonding desmos") is the largest sequence of the millipede, containing about 3,500 species, [2] including all millipedes reported to produce hydrogen cyanide (HCN).

the secretion of Polydesmide which is hydrogen cyanide as mentioned above is toxic to its predators. so the bright colors that are displayed on the body bag Polydesmida bag into a warning of sekresi toksin it produces. this also makes the predators will evade when met with Polydesmida.

the animal I found was 2 cm in size and 3 mm wide and black base color with orange line pattern on top body. Polydesmida has 18 feet on the left and right sides so that the number of legs is 36. This animal has no eyes, Polydesmida uses the antenna as a sensor to know where to go.

the striking thing that distinguishes between Polydesmida and millipede is its body shape. Polydesmida body has a flat or flat shape while the millipede has a round body shape. the number of rings on the body Polydesmida can be used to know its age. adults have 19 or 20 rings, while teenagers may have 7 to 19 rings.

Conclusion

---

Polydesmida is one type of arthropod animals that also exist in tropical rainforest in Indonesia that we know from the existing literature study. Polydesmide has a striking color as a warning of toxic hydrogen cyanide (HCN) for its predators. the number of legs Polydesmida found 36 fruit and affect the amount of rings in accordance with his age. the more the ring then the more legs. Polydesmisda can not move fast because short legs are not like long bony legs and can move faster. Polydesmids include herbivorous animals that eat the rest of the decaying vegetation.

Polydesmids include herbivorous animals because they eat the rest of the decaying vegetation. he can not move quickly like a centipede because of short and tight legs. Polydesmida is somewhat hard to find because of its habit of hiding under a decaying leaf.
