Doing some weeding in the front yard to my chagrin. Anyways I found like 10 huge leopard slugs so I put them in a bag and gave them to chickens!! My dad was weed wacking in the garden which freaked out mom chicken out so the babies were herded inside the coop and got no slugs. They are all doing fine and growing their tiny tail feathers, still so much peeping from them.
As for the garden most everything is doing fine but we also got a few zucchini including one thatβs fricking massive. Plan to roast and eat it tonight.
Back to the front garden I saw a millipede! It was very colorful and cool and I was very excited since Iβve never seen one in the wild before, especially one with such a pretty color.

Maybe Iβm just not digging through leaf litter enough? Millipedes are pretty elusive, somewhat nocturnal and I have bad eyes so maybe Iβm just unlucky.
I also donβt actively seek them out since despite the fact I appreciate them and recognize theyβre mostly harmless millipedes and centipedes are some of the only creatures I cannot override my lizard brain on thinking they are creepy as frick.

maybe you just live somewhere they're less common
my chickens don't eat them, I guess they taste bad?
