Doctor derrick hennanyou have been on my list? I've had an index card with h word millipedes, and youre mal on it. Idon't even know what a decopot is. Think that shrimps and crabs, some crustacean. Glad we're finally able to work it out. My name is dero cannon, and i use he hym pronouns. And how long have you been? Is itit? Wait, help me out. It's dipplo potologist. Dippo pedologist. The they're all legs.

How many legs? Why so many legs? What's a millipede versus a centipede? And again WHY SO MANY LEGS. We have just the guy for that: Diplopodologist Dr. Derek Hennen. As a person who’s spent over a decade sorting through leaf litter and naming scores of new species, Derek is truly a champion for the multi-limbed little critters. If you liked what Casey Clapp brought to Dendrology, get ready to appreciate millipedes like you never thought you would. Also: mythology gossip, world records, Taylor Swift fandom, and sniffing bugs.
