Millipede sp.
-0.0513653, -78.7763
Field Notes
Description:
Lovely millipedes like this one all have 2 pairs of legs per body segment (apart from the first few behind the head), whereas centipedes have 1 pair per segment. Millipedes are mostly herbivores and so are safe to handle, whereas centipedes are ferocious predators and some tropical species can pack a very painful bite! It's therefore important to know the difference!
Habitat:
Bellavista Cloud Forest Reserve, Ecuador
