Field Notes

Description:

Reddish chocolate. Like a fast- moving worm. But has many legs, so not one! Antennae in front. Very swift = blurry photos.

Habitat:

Entered the house, from the garden presumably. Got swept up onto a piece of paper and deposited right back.

Notes:

Usually the millipedes I see are much fatter...like my little finger. This one was slimmer.

Although I am not sure now I didn't note it was from India. Sorry forget my id.

Yes, I know...but what sort of milipede? Scientific name eludes me. Help. Debbra Theodora Marcel.
