It’s raining. Last year, on days like this, huge numbers of them clung to the concrete, but this year I hardly see any.
About 10 dead ones indoors. None alive.
And for some reason a cluster of millipedes is sitting in a spot they shouldn’t be able to reach because it’s covered with aluminum tape. A mystery.
According to the news, “the outbreak has calmed down this year.” I see. I had assumed the sharp drop since around September this year was thanks to my millipede countermeasures, but maybe it was due to broader, area-wide factors…
