Red Millipede

A very common one in Sri Lanka. We can see this millipede in the backyard after rain or during the monsoon season. Bit different than the "Fire Millipede".

  It is commonly called "Red Millipede". Probably a type of Fire Millipede. I wish someone else could identify it. Posted 11 years ago

    I see you requested the creation of a manual species, thanks for that. You requested to create "Red Millipede", but unfortunately that's not specific enough as it is a common name for multiple species:

    I tried to identify it when you posted it. Although I found a few similar ones, none of them was identified. Posted 11 years ago
