Every time they were mentioned I imagined those little critters big enough to ride.
And then last night, after reading this blog post I dreamed of pedes…not the ridable-sized ones but the size of that one in the palm of your hand. I haven't seen them that size before.

I've been looking at those millipedes for years, imagining them to be big enough to ride…I mean, doesn't everyone??
