CrustaceousBaki Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 This just split this morning and I’m beyond happy. I’m really thinking it’s a millipede. Thoughts? 13 Link to post Share on other sites

fiddlehead Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 (edited) You have a millipede, maybe. If so, it is one of the less common spineless varieties, possibly Xyloilus sp. The preservation is not good, but it appears from the pictures there is only one visible leg per segment. Comparing the leg count to segments where (if) possible would be very interesting. If there is a confident and consistent one to one ratio it is a not a millipede. Millipedes have two visible legs per segment when seen from the side. If only one, you will have to turn the book to page 56 and Mazoscolopendra richardsoni. You have a centipede. Short answer, you have either a millipede or a centipede... for sure. Hope this helps, Jack Edited August 1 by fiddlehead 4 2 Link to post Share on other sites
