Cyanide Gas or Sweet Perfume?

My best guess is it's a Brachoria enodicuma

Hidden beneath the leafy forest floor are hundreds of insects of all shapes and sizes. The pitter patter of hundreds of feet can sometimes be heard on the dry leaves if you pay close attention. However, on this morning it wasn't the scurrying of ants or the bustling of beetles that caught my attention. Feeling its way slowly over obstacles, due to being basically blind, was a black and salmon-colored millipede.

This particular millipede is typically found in the Appalachian mixed deciduous forest and it feeds on decaying leaves and other dead plant matter. When attacked, it secretes a cyanide gas that gives off a kind of an almond-like smell. If you shake this millipede gently in your hands (they don't bite), then sniff it, you will be able to detect the faint almond-like odor. This "gas" is not harmful to humans, though it may irritate the skin of some people, so be sure to wash your hands after handling it. The secretion is, however, bitter and toxic to small animals.

When life "shakes us up," do we exude a toxic atmosphere like this millipede or are we so filled with Christ that as a flower or herb of the field when stepped on, we give off the sweet aroma of heaven?

Spring Gentian

"Every soul is surrounded by an atmosphere of its own, - an atmosphere, it may be, charged with the life-giving power of faith, courage, and hope, and sweet with the fragrance of love. Or it may be heavy and chill with the gloom of discontent and selfishness, or poisonous with the deadly taint of cherished sin. By the atmosphere surrounding us, every person with whom we come in contact is consciously or unconsciously affected."
