On Friday 3/20/20, Museum Educator Carolyn introduced Milton the giant African millipede. We got to meet the most charismatic millipede around and learn all about his anatomy and role in the ecosystem.

At-Home Activity
Our “Meet Milton the Millipede” at-home activity encourages you to use your thumbs and coloring supplies to create your own millipede. Simply put your thumbs into the ink and create a chain of thumbprints down the page. Then, use your coloring supplies to add antennae, eyes and a mouth to the first thumbprint, the head. Finally, add the correct number of legs to the rest of your thumbprints. Try using this fun guide to create a series of different types of bugs with your thumbs and coloring supplies.
