The most striking feature of the show is the extremely large number of legs, about several hundred.

The large number of legs makes the rolling species move slowly but has very strong digging power. The body of the stool makes many burns with a large amount of legs, so the body moves in the form of waves.

Looks like it looks cool but they are really a dangerous "player".

Due to the slow movement speed and the inability to bite and burn . the main method of self-defense is to curl up the body into a spiral to use the hard shell on the back to protect the legs and the Vulnerable part of the body.

In addition, this North American projection species possesses a secondary defense measure that secretes a number of toxins, cyanide compounds through microscopic holes in the aromatic glands along the sides of the body.

Surprisingly, the liquid cyanide secreted from this animal's body smelled of sweet candy - cherry flavored cola!

But when this liquid is fired they will stick to the skin and can corrode ant shells as well as many other predatory insects, or enough to burn the skin and eyes of larger predators.

More horribly, the poison of this rolling species can shoot as far as half a meter!

For humans, the screen's venom is not dangerous. They usually cause only minor effects, mainly discolouration. However, some stronger venom may cause soreness, swelling, erythema, and blisters, if unfortunately poisoning the eyes, they can cause inflammation of the cornea.

Therefore, if you encounter eye-catching rolling creatures, with sweet and charming fragrance, you should not approach them too much to avoid injury.
