Bristly millipede - Polyxenus

Bristly millipede - Polyxenus
Lacey (near Olympia), Thurston County, Washington, USA
March 13, 2009
Found in wet rotting piece of log.

Slightly different coloration than the other critter I posted:


but I think they're the same critter. It almost looks like a bristly caterpillar, but as that other pic shows, it has too many legs (those don't look like prolegs to me).

Soft millipede
Nice find Kevin. I don't know a lot about these, but here's my image from MT:

 
soft millipedes?
How'd you key yours out? No info on your entry.

Neat little critter.

 
sorry
I assumed they were the same as the ones ID'd here.
