A team of seventeen conducted this week's survey. The morning was hot, beginning cloudy then becoming sunny. Fast moving predatory centipedes and millipedes, which are slower scavengers, are not closely related (they are in different arthropod classes). As shown below, when threatened, only millipedes can roll into a defensive coil. Centipedes' options are to flee or bite.
