This is the introduced Neotro
This is the introduced Neotropical milliped of the family Rhinocricidae, order Spirobolida that is now overrunning south Florida and, assisted by man, is spreading northward very rapidly. I have heard from colleagues of it climbing the walls of buildings in Naples. Not exactly sure of the species and there may be more than one, but it is probably Anadenobolus monilicornis (Porat).
