Beautiful!
We'll move it to Millipedes where Dr Shelley may tell us what it is.

Thanks
Can I post more to this thread? I'll probably try anyway. I went for a short hike this morning and in 2 or 3 miles I saw dozens... maybe even hundreds of them crawling across the desert floor (west side of Big Bend NP). The shots I am going to add are from what's called The Chimney's Trail in Big Bend National Park (aka heaven on earth).
