millipede - Nearctodesmidae?

Seems like this is probably in the Nearctodesmidae family... Kepolydesmus or Nearctodesmus?

Nice image!

The long legs (for a millipede) almost remind me of a younger sibling to a House Centipede.

It was moving pretty fast by millipede standards too. I thought it WAS a centipede until I learned about the four-legs-per-segment thing.
