Sample information

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.

Methods

No visible bands appeared in the prospective millipede wells for both the Wolbachia and the arthropod gel electrophoresis. Since it is not evident that there is enough genetic material to analyze, the results are inconclusive, so this sample was not sent in for sequencing.

Results

Results are inconclusive since PCR and gel electrophoresis were unsuccessful. Sequencing was not run, so identification cannot be determined. Therefore, I am not confident about what the species is.
