Banded Milli picsI have found 3 adult millis of this species and I am keeping one. IMO they are one of the most beautiful millipedes in NA, other than the awesome flat ones.Both of these were ~4", found in Laguna Canyon. I will take pictures of the one I kept from another location that is less sensitive than the canyon area sometime later... Pics link to larger.

OOOOOOH! That's must be big. I love these guys too. Would love to have one someday. They're so cute. They're safe to handle right? I want to make sure before hand.

It wasnt me at the BBQ but I have gotten chemical burns from these guys. They actually have a mild stinging sensation!

Mild stinging sensation huh? Well I'll have rubber gloves on when I handle one then.
