Malu, also known as millipedes, is a terrestrial arthropod. It is cylindrical or oblong, divided into two parts, the head and the torso, and has a pair of stubby antennae on the head. The trunk is made up of many body segments, up to several hundred.
Horse land (millipede)
Although Ma Lu has non-toxic jaws, there are odor glands on its body segments, and Ma Lu does not bite when defending himself, but curls his body more, his head is rolled inside, and the exoskeleton is on the outside. It can secrete a toxic odorous liquid, smell bad, and can spray a liquid with a pungent odor when threatened, so that poultry and birds dare not peck it, and human accidental eating of horse land can cause allergic edema of the lips. The liquid spewed out by Madagascar Scarlet Horse Land in the rainforest can blind both eyes for a moment.
Curl up under threat
Madagascar Scarlet Horse has a toxic chemical called benzoquinone in its secretions, which has been shown to have insecticidal and antibacterial effects. Malu's original intention was to use benzoquinone to avoid preying on other animals, but lemurs, who also live in Madagascar, seem to have learned how to extract the chemical to use it.
lemur
Madagascar Scarlet Horseland is very poisonous, lemurs do not eat horses, they hold them in their hands, but keep biting these insects. In self-defense, Malu immediately releases chemicals mixed with benzoquinones, and lemurs rub the poisonous liquid on their fur as a homemade insect repellent. Lemurs have a soft spot for this toxin, which repels many insects, especially the mosquitoes that spread malaria.
Apply venom to your own fur to repel worms
When they bite the dead horses, they also devour a portion of the toxin, one of which is called an alkaloid. It is one of the components that form cocaine, morphine, nicotine. So this toxin has a similar effect, just like drug use. After eating, the lemur began to droop its eyelids, the corners of its mouth drooled, and there was a feeling of fluttering and drunken dreams of death.
Bite Ma Lu to get venom
As this smearing ritual progresses, strange things happen - the lemur enters a state of fluttering bliss, the eyelids are swollen from toxins, the eyes are confused, saliva is running wildly, and the toxic substances secreted by Ma Lu become hallucinogens for the lemurs. Let the lemurs be addicted to it and can't extricate themselves.
Droopy eyelids, fluttering
Nature's laws of survival are so magical. Lemurs know how to use the toxins of Malu to repel insects for themselves, but at the same time, the toxins of Malu will also make lemurs addicted, if there are other predators, the threat to lemurs can be great, and they can't face danger with a drunken dream.
Therefore, everything must be used rationally, and you cannot get caught up in it, otherwise it will bring you great trouble.
