Collected in a pitfall trap in a riparian canyon area. Maybe some sort of millipede? I'm stumped by this one, so if anyone has an idea I'd appreciate it!

Looks like on of the Polyxenida millipedes
Pretty distinct order. This one may be missing tufts since it was in a trap.

looks like you got it!
Thanks, that does look pretty close. I am really unfamiliar with millipedes so I wasn't sure at all on that one.

Yeah I'm not very good with them either.
This is the only order I'm comfortable IDing, and I can't go any further :)
