Amazing. Looks highly segmented. Incredible colour for an 'underworld' creature... must find out more about this one.
Simply beautiful .... great spotting :)
Thank you for the interest. Because of Noah Project and peopel like you I am learning about nature. I receiving the answer to the things I see in the field.
No problem. I've been educating myself on the Myriapods, but still have a long way to go. I'm trying to figure out which order this one might be in, but it can be tough to figure out.
You are right, I¨ll change the name. Thank you for the observation.
This is actually a millipede: it has two legs per segment.
