Lulus sabulosus cllindroiulus
Each of the rings Tropical Millepede takes two pairs of legs, except the four initial segments. The first segment has no feet and the other three, just one pair. As a Tropical Millepede can has up to 100 rings , the number of feet can reach to 400.
They are found in places where there is mulch, such as trunks, leaves, etc. I found this specimens in a region of transition betwee the Cerrado and Atlantic Forest.
In Brazil, also known as "Piolho-de-Cobra" ("Louse-of-Snake").
