Deep in the jungles of Borneo:millipedes


I found this millipede in the jungle when we went to Mulu caves. It was basking in the sun.

I am posting this for http://edprescott.blogspot.com/2009/09/macro-monday_20.html. What a difference from his American millipede, which looks like a ferocious monster. My is just a harmless earth worm with legs. I am not sure about this one though, the jungle species.

Indeed, I was told that ours town one is quite harmless. They come out after the rain. The centipede is a different story, they can kill.
