Polyxenus fasciculatus is a species of millipede about 2 millimetres (0.079 in) long which is notable for its use of detachable bristles which entangle predatory ants. The bristles have grappling hooks at the tip which lock on to the setae of an ant, and barbs along their length which cause them to interlink .[1]
