Narceus americanus-annularis-complex
About 6-8 inches long. (Not what she said, you know thought to say it.) In Somerville Texas. October. We have kids. ARE THESE POISONOUS? Any answers will be much appreciated.
Quite a few millipede species can secrete defensive chemicals that, if rubbed into the eyes, nose, or mouth, can burn the sensitive tissues there. They are safe to handle and do not bite, sting, or otherwise harm people. Hope this helps. :-)
