This cutie is a Georgia Flat-Backed Millipede (Cherokia georgiana). They're great at breaking down decaying plants. They're beneficial to our ecosystem. More information on Georgia Flat-Backed Millipedes can be found in the description of this YouTube short.

New friends (Polydesmus angustus) found while looking for bugs for bird baby under some turfs stacked up by my parents' shed.

Was very thirsty and came over to get moisture where I added it.

This is a flat-back millipede, these guys produce hydrogen cyanide and can be freaky to look at but they’re just little guys

Xystocheir dissecta, a species of flat-backed millipede found only in California. They’re fairly common in forest litter around the Bay Area and show up very well with a black light at night. Like many flat-backed millipedes, they produce hydrogen cyanide as a chemical defense against predators.

Here’s the same individual in white light:

Isopod terrarium 2.0 is set up so it can be ready for the isopods when they come!

The help get thing going, I managed to collect a few baby roly polys (like 3 of them lol) and a handful of flat backed millipedes! I hope the millipedes survive. I'm going to go grab some moss in a bit.

This time around I taped a lot of plastic wrap over most of the air holes to help with moisture and I miiiiight get a humidity measure thingy. Why not.
