Field Notes

Description:

Brown body with small orange/red marks at each end of the segments.

Notes:

The difference between millipedes and centipedes is simple.

Millipedes have very tiny legs that lay directly under the body, with very short antennae.

Centipedes have very long legs that protrude from the body, also have very long antennae. (These are poisonous)
