ya its quiet interesting ... the spotted place is a hill forest , it was a rainy season and i saw more than 1000 Millipedes in that place , many of them were just curl up . Thank you Latimeria!!!

It's interesting that there were so many on that one branch. What were they doing? Or did they just curl up and stop moving when you approached them?
