The scientists now think these millipedes' greenish light is the result of their bodies' response to heat stress at lower elevations. As the species moved up the Sierra Nevada Mountains, it later evolved into a warning signal. Read more about the discovery of how the millipedes got their glow: news.nationalgeographic.com/20...
