I was walking the Stone Valley Trail with a good friend who was visiting the area, and on our way back, we came across this little guy right on the trail. I had never seen a North American Millipede, and I never knew how big they were. This one was about 5-6 inches long (not for the faint of heart with bugs - my friend refused to pick it up, so I handed her my phone to take a picture while I moved it to a more open spot), and seemed unperturbed when I picked it up. All of those little legs come together for one pretty strong grip!
