VISALIA, Calif., Oct. 25 (UPI) -- Researchers have discovered a new, especially leggy species of millipede in the dissolved marble caves of California's Sequoia National Park. The millipede boasts 414 legs.
The newly named millipede, Illacme tobini, is the closest relative of the leggiest species on the planet, Illacme plenipe, which deploys 750 legs. The species is only the second to be organized within the Illacme genus.
