Brachycybe lecontii
These critters are millipedes, but different than any I have ever seen. They are about 25mm (1 in) long. I'm not 100% sure on the ID - they could possibly be Brachycybe petasata.
On 6 month old oak firewood in a partly wooded area.

Thanks Fyn, I look forward to seeing who wins the Spotting of the Week title!
Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
I'm glad you like them, Ashley.
Thanks for the info BlueAppaloosa.
I believe these are a type of Feather Millipede, but inverts are not my specialty. Very neat looking!
How neat!
