The top 10 new species list for 2007 has some interesting species found last year. One of which just jumped right out at me. The shockingly pink Dragon Millepede. The species of millepede has a bright pink body with black antenea. The bright color is thought to warn predators of their toxisity. This insect produces the deadly compound cyanide. They are up to 3 cm in length and are among the largest in their genus. The species was one of many knew species discovered in Thailand by an exploration team led by Dr. Somsake Panha.
