Old Bugs

BBCnews is carrying this summary of the discovery of the oldest land animal found to date. A millipede-like creature only 1 cm long, it was discovered in northern Scotland by an amateur collector whose "day job" is a bus driver. The creature has been named in his honor. Hmm... "Crittericus Johnsonii" has a nice ring to it. Time to get out the magnifying glass!
