Fantastic beasts and where to find them

[paul1977]

This morning I was misting my orchids, after giving one of my Dendrobiums surface roots a spray I noticed something in the bark moving. I picked up the pot to have a closer look and an inch long millipede came crawling out to the surface. I’ve had the plant for the past three months and never taken it outside so the millipede must have been living in the pot since I got it. The plant looks healthy the roots look good and has two new canes growing so hopefully there’s been no damage done.

I’ve previously found an unusual looking tiny snail and a small spider with a lovely looking silvery body on other orchids I’ve got.

I’d love to know what weird and wonderful creatures the rest of you have found hiding in your orchids.
