Giant green pill millipede, Zoosphaerium neptunus, Sphaerotheriida

Found only in Madagascar, this species is the largest pill millipede in the world, sometimes reaching almost 4 inches in length. Although superficially resembling pill bug isopods (aka roly polies), they are not related.

Rosy aemilia moth, Lophocampa roseata, Arctiini, Erebidae

This tiger moth, found only in a small region in the Pacific Northwest, is considered critically imperiled, meaning there are thought to be fewer than 1,000 individuals left in the wild. Larvae have been observed feeding on fir trees.
