About an inch long, I think it's a baby?
Neat find! This looks like a species of Flat-backed Millipede. It is likely fully grown, many of them stay quite small as adults. They tend to favor damp conditions, like under bark of dead trees or leaf debris. Here is a link to the BugGuide page for the Order Polydesmida: http://bugguide.net/node/view/5251/bgpag...
