Pill Millipede

Forest track

Notes:

Possibly a pill bug but it's legs seem too long

It looks like it only has six legs, so I don't think it's a myriapod or isopod. Maybe a roach?

I was thinking Pill Millipede Deepti but thought it's legs were too long. I've only ever seen them moving across the ground before do it could very well be. I think it will amend it ..... Thanks!
