A portion of Kathmandu, Nepal, is covered by a thin layer of smog that shrouds the atmosphere of the bowl-shaped Kathmandu Valley on October 17, 2025, with the Air Quality Index measuring above 100. The average readings of Kathmandu's pollution exceed the annual average concentrations of PM2.5 of 5 ug/m3, while 24-hour average exposures should not exceed 15 ug/m3 more than 3-4 days per year, as prescribed by the World Health Organization. PM2.5 refers to particulate matter (solid or liquid droplets) in the air less than 2.5 micrometres in diameter. It is among the most dangerous pollutants that can get past the nose and throat to penetrate the lungs and even the bloodstream. PM2.5 particles are small and are also likely to stay suspended in the air for long, increasing the chances of people inhaling them. According to Nepal's Environmental Protection Agency's air quality index, an air quality reading of 151-200 is considered unhealthy, causing everyone to experience problems and sensitive groups to feel more severe effects. When air quality reaches 201-300, it is considered a very unhealthy level, and health risks increase for everyone in the area. When it crosses 300, it becomes hazardous, meaning that the air is of extremely poor quality and poses serious health risks to everyone.

Millipedes are a diverse group of arthropods that can be found around the globe. Some species swarm together during mating season or to hunt for food, and some studies have theorized juveniles swarm together and deploy similar lines of defense for protection from predators. When a squishy, lone baby millipede travels alone, it's a vulnerable target. But in a swarm surrounded by its siblings, it stands a better chance of surviving. While migrating, the swarms often become two or three millipedes deep, they stumble over each other to crawl forward in unison Millipedes are born in clusters that hatch at the same time. They stick together from day one. A similar cluster of millipedes only slightly larger than the juvenile patch, lingering only a few inches away. Millipedes feed on algae-covered, nutrient-rich patches of soil that spring to life during the rainy season. Juvenile millipedes can't subsist on dirt alone, so they seek out patches of soil that are covered in organic matter. Because this organic matter typically grows in patches that are exposed to sunlight, young millipedes are more exposed in the open and are vulnerable to attack. A flock of baby millipedes is in Tehatta, West Bengal, India on 23/08/2023.
