Kentucky flat millipede

Apheloria sp. Kentucky flat millipede.

Among the most beautiful of the many US polydesmids. This flat millipede is quicker than the round millipedes but still eats the same foods including rotten wood, dead leaves, and dry dog food. Adults are two inches long and half an inch wide.

Really nice composition, and love the yellows against the blacks and browns.

Colorful little thing. I think all ours out here are brown only. They are poisonous aren't they?
