Legs, Legs and Yet More Legs

Moved a piece of wood and spotted this magnificent jet black millipede:

Only managed 8 seconds of video. With all those legs it could move quite fast as it was determined to get back in the shade:



Each segment has two pair of legs.

    1. That's true Keith. I can't say I have seen many over the years.
