Did you know that the Virginia Museum of Natural History has one of the largest, most diverse, and most important collection of millipedes in the world?

VMNH Myriapodologist Dr. Jackson Means (millipede expert) knows this and was kind enough to give us a quick behind-the-scenes look at part of the millipede collection inside the museum's wet collections area (specimens preserved in alcohol) in this video specifically made for all of you leg lovers out there!
