Strawberry Snack Attack - When Millipedes Get a Sweet Tooth!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by John Henwood, we witness the mischievous antics of HEN-22, the Spotted Snake Millipede. These common soil-dwelling creatures may seem harmless at first glance, but don't be fooled! They have an insatiable appetite for decaying plant material and can wreak havoc on our beloved strawberry fruits. As seen in the picture, HEN-22 has found itself a juicy strawberry feast. With its numerous legs delicately exploring every nook and cranny of the fruit, it's clear that these millipedes take their feeding mission quite seriously. However, fear not! There is a clever trick to outsmart these tiny pests. To avoid extensive damage to your precious strawberries, simply lift them off the ground by placing straw under each plant. This ingenious method keeps those sneaky millipedes from reaching their fruity prize while ensuring you get to enjoy plump and unblemished strawberries all season long! So next time you spot one of these small-sized invaders eyeing your garden's sweet treasures, remember to take preventive measures like our friend HEN-22 here. And if you happen to capture such amusing moments on camera like John Henwood did with this incredible close-up shot - well then, share it with us because nature never fails to surprise us with its quirky characters!
