Descripción

This insect, a millipede, was observed on a decay log near damp, shaded soil. It is an arthropod which is part of the ecdysoza group under the protostomes clade. They are a part of the Kingdom Animalia. It was observed at 9:49 AM on 03/06/19. It was sunny, 49 degrees F, and 40% humidity.

Shape: Long and skinny with countless legs and two antenna.
Size: ~3-4 cm long
Coloration: dark and light brown

Millipedes live is moist, dark habitats where there is readily access to decaying materials as food. Commonly they are food in rotting logs or under rocks. They can be found worldwide and across most of the US.

Their most identifying characteristic are their body segments and legs. Millipedes bodies can be seen to be divided into segments. Besides the first three segments, each after until the end of the body contain two pairs of legs. This is unlike centipedes which only have one pair of legs per segment. In this observation two pairs of legs can be seen per segment of the insect and therefore can be identified as a millipede. https://bugguide.net/node/view/37
