Strange millipede. Moved to Arthropods.
@LIivan..thank for your information..( in Indonesia we call ' kaki seribu '..kaki = legs / seribu = thousand ) , this ia a small..body lengt around 2 cm..
That is a kind of millipede not a caterpillar. A caterpillar (which will turn into a moth or butterfly) will not have an exoskeleton (hard plates covering its body) nor so many legs (only 3 pairs of real legs) nor antennas. You can put it in the Arthropod category with the dragonfly symbol, but though it is an arthropod it is not an insect. Anyway, it is a very handsome millipede with its orange markings :)
