It seem's like a blue centipede, but I really don't know it's name. It's creapy
tropical forest
Useful discussion here - it has helped me ID a previously unknown similar spotting of mine: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/124...
Thanks! :)
My wildlife expert colleagues in Xalapa tell me it's a Millipede
(Order Polydesmida).. and around 5 different people told me this..
I found a couple of other photos of one that looks just like this one but still no species listed. Amazing color!
This was in my shower for a week when I first arrived to Xalapa (well Coatepec) I am from UK so never seen anything like it before. I honestly thought it was a hairclip until one day it started to move!!

lindisisisima. bienvenida a project noah Luz! puedes agregar esta al mission "Blue"
It's not venomous at all. Some millipedes have chemical defense, but to handle this one would not be harmful.
This is actually a millipede, as they have 2 pairs of legs on most body segments. Centipedes only have 1 pair on most segments.
