@lishd submitted: Hello! Here's a leggy friend I found in South Africa on a trip several years ago. I believe he's a red and black millipede. I took a video as well. :) Please enjoy him.

Hi there! What a beautiful and long friend! Absolutely love when millipedes are cruising along and their legs have visible waves. Excellent bug design. But yes, looks like a red millipede in the genus Centrobolus :)

Centrobolus sp. "Mosambik"

Such a cutie! Look at all those tiny legs! I have four of these critters but they're usually very good at disappearing into the depths of the terrarium haha.
