No problem, looks much better now! We have multitudes of Ommatoiulus species (millipedes) here, especially after rain, and research is indicating that they are different species in different areas, even when they look the same! Centipedes have one pair of legs per body segment, while millipedes have two pairs.
yeah. I had to transfer the image from another device. It took a while. I didn't realize it was such a huge inconvenience for everyone.
Hi. As per our FAQs http://www.projectnoah.org/faq organisms should be sufficently visible to be able to confirm the identity. In this case nothing is visible. Please replace with a visible picture of the organism or remove the spotting.
