That's a very pretty millipede, I haven't seen a photo of one with that color before, it looks quite distinct. Unfortunately, I can't glean too much ID info from the photo, but it's definitely in the order Polydesmida. If you find another, collect it if you can! I'd love to get my hands on a specimen to try to figure it out.

Thanks Argy Bee ") I still can't find it. Maybe mine is really young. I won't give up though.

Very nice millipede. It's a flatty.. one of the polydesmids?
