Were the millipedes a meal? Are those even millipedes next to the spider?

Yes, they are millipedes. I had a full-blown invasion of them in my basement last year. I’m not sure if the spiders eat them or not. They probably do.

I don’t know if it’s just me or if everybody else experiencing issues
with your blog. It appears as if some of the text within your content are running off the screen.
Can somebody else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them too?
This could be a issue with my browser because
I’ve had this happen before. Thanks
