I'm generally a fan of creepy-crawlies. Spiders are among my favourite animals. But oh dear god, I just spent two days at Hindmarsh Island for a birthday party and the MILLIPEDES. My lord jesus christ, these things freak me out so bad. Stepping on them with shoes, stepping on them barefoot. Trying to get to sleep when you KNOW they're crawling on the walls and are going to fall into your open mouth when you finally do drop off. The way they get into EVERYTHING. Everything I ate that even thought about being crunchy immediately came under suspicion. Hate, hate, hate! They give me the heebie jeebies so. bad. I will never ever move to the country, and if I do I'm buying a chihuahua and training it to go millipede hunting. They're a fucking menace. What is their purpose? What role do they serve on the food chain? How do they hold the ecosystem together? Why does there have to be SO DAMN MANY of them?
