Three species of detritivorous artrhopods (a millipede, a darkling beetle and a pill bug) concentrated around the nest of the seed-eating ant Messor barbarus in look for remains of seeds. These concentrations happen in cloudy days, as none of these animals will be very active at full sun.

Summary[edit] Description: 8 image stack I've shown White-legged Snake Millipedes before, but I've got no problem doing it again for several reasons. First and foremost, I like them. But being shiny, they're also quite a good test of my new X-ray Diffraction Argon Laser Quantum Diffuser. Thanks to my almost magical design skills, the diffusing bit worked quite well. But there was a problem - bloody biology! Getting enough light to focus at high magnification meant that the millipede froze - good for focus stacking - but in a rather unnatural pose. When I turned the light off, it resumed normal behaviour, but was moving too fast to get more than one frame off, so no focus stacking. Never work with children - ever. And while we're at it, never work with Myriapods either. Date: 15 November 2015, 12:24. Source: White-legged Snake Millipede, Tachypodoiulus niger. Author: AJC1 from UK.
