Millipede

Xenobolus carnifex

Description:

Chocolate-brown worm-like body with a red dorsal stripe. Legs are red.

Habitat:

This one was climbing my neighbour's boundary wall but since then the population seems to have exploded. I rescued one from inside my house and there are quite a few more in the backyard. Perhaps it is the monsoon that is triggering it.

Notes:
