Pneumodesmus newmani is the earliest member of the millipedes from the late Wenlock epoch of the late Silurian around 17] [18] or early Lochkovian of the early Devonian around 414 million years ago, [19] [20] known from 1 cm (1 ⁄ 2 in) long fragment and has clear evidence of spiracles (breathing holes) attesting to its air-breathing habits.
The thousand legs house (Indonesian: Rumah kaki seribu) is the traditional house of the Arfak people who reside in Manokwari Regency, West Papua.

1 cm – 0.39 inches; 1 cm – edge of a square of area 1 cm 2; 1 cm – edge of a cube of volume 1 mL; 1 cm – length of a coffee bean; 1 cm – approximate width of average fingernail; 1.2 cm – length of a bee; 1.2 cm – diameter of a die; 1.5 cm – length of a very large mosquito; 1.6 cm – length of a Jaragua Sphaero, a very small reptile
This species is uniformly pale and cream-colored, with a highly elongated body, only about 1 mm (0.039 in) in diameter, but reaching up to 95.7 mm (3.8 in) in length. This millipede has a cone-shaped head and unusually large, thick antennae, but has no eyes. The male specimens range from 198 to 208 segments and from 778 to 818 legs.
Typically the tree reaches 4.5 to 18 metres (15 to 60 feet) in height and is round-topped. [1] It usually stands erect, but sometimes can be crooked or have a willowy appearance. [1] The leaves are 7–15 centimetres (3–6 inches) long, and are oblong in shape with brown-hairy petioles2 cm (3 ⁄ 4 in) in length. [1]

They grow out into a feather-like rosette to 1 m (3.3 ft) in diameter. The crowded, stiff, narrow leaflets are 8–18 cm (3.1–7.1 in) long and have strongly recurved or revolute edges. The basal leaflets become more like spines. The petiole or stems of the sago cycad are 6–10 cm (2.4–3.9 in) long and have small protective barbs.
