Observations

The arthropod is long and has many, many legs (over a hundred pairs) with two pairs per segment. It is of a dark brown color with a segmented exoskeleton. The underbelly is a cream color, distinguishing it from many other millipede species. It has two visible eyes and antennae that are bent. The body is segmented, but it does not have a thorax or an abdomen; therefore, it is not an insect. It is about an inch and a half long.

Putative identification Arthropoda Myriapoda Diplopoda Julida Parajulidae Ptyoiulus Ptyoiulus impressus
