    Politics is the most accurate word in the English language. "Poli" in Latin meaning "Many" and
    "tics" meaning "little insects"

    "God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of his own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players, to being involved in an obscure and complex version of poker in a pitch dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time." (Good Omens - Terry Pratchett)

    Arthropos

    Arthropos noticed that some settlements had very little home-grown jelly but were exporting silk, or similar. In order to make the job of carrying objects across the desert, he found some centipedes and thought that would be a good beast of burden, if it was slightly larger. So he boosted their size, increased their width so they were nearly wagons and decreased the potency of their poisonous bite. They were now large enough to carry many, many things on their back.

    ((I haven't actually described the colours of my creations, so I thought I would do that now. The Scorpoids have rather pale carapaces, as they were desert scorpions. The aphids are still green, and the beetle-vacuums have black, shiny carapaces. If you have ever seen a Southern Hawker dragonfly (AKA Blue Darner, Aeshna cyanea), that is what the giant dragonflies look like, only helicopter-ish size. The Scarab Scribes also have black carapaces, but theirs have the symbol of Arthropos on the wing case, and the spiders also have it upon their abdomen, but are otherwise brown. In both cases it is paler than the surrounding pigment. These new centipedes are also pale in colour, because I've never personnally seen a dark one))
