Millipede Mania - Apheloria virginiensis
Copyright © 2005 Phillip Reedy

Millipede Mania - Apheloria virginiensis
Marion, Smyth County, Virginia, USA
May 12, 2005
Size: 2.5 inches
This super bright millipede must have been eating his vitamins. A chunky 2.5inches, and condensation covered. I find these all the time under logs and such. This particular specimen was found under some carpet I piled up in the edge of my garden to see what kind of critters would call it home.

Millipede Mania
I believe I found one of these millipedes in an old cemetery that I was working in in Vermont this weekend. Is that unusual to be found in Vermont ?

Thanks

Cyndy

Click on the data tab
If you click on the data tab you will see that they are found in states very near to Vermont. That usually means that you are in their range. Sometimes it tells the range on the info page as well.

No worries.
I'm quite familiar with these little critters, thanks for the warning though.
