Millipede (Narceus americanus)

Found several of these large, very common, millipedes climbing up trees. These creatures inhabit wooded areas where they can also be found crossing trails, or resting on logs, curled into a spiral. These creatures are harmless.

Very cool. I agree with Walter that it looks artificial - like something I would buy in a hardware store.

It almost looks like he is trying to drill a hole.
