Hiltonius pulchrus (literally 'handsome millipede')

Somewhat similar looking to Narceus, but much larger and more massive. Very heavily built, specimens can exceed ten centimeters in length, and often grow fatter that 20mm in width!

These are found in riparian zones in southern california, and eat rotting Oak, sycamore, and fungi. They seem to enjoy exploring one's hand.

Just gorgeous

Thanks for the share.

Very striking, indeed! Here's a shot to scale size, certainly a large millipede!

A similar genus containing species with nearly identical markings is Tylobolus, the majority of species being found in california, washington, and oregon, however they grow much longer, and arent as thick.

 

[MrCrackerpants]

Very cool! Thanks for the 2nd picture.

Atopetholus californicus, a species of desert millipede which is found from coastal regions to far inland.

Wow what a gorgeous millipede!

 

[Smokehound714]

I agree, they're quite striking.

Enjoying some banana

A couple of new arrivals today, a pair of S. hardwickei, both slightly larger than the one I had already, although all three have different markings.

Great pictures guys!


Here is a horrible picture of my S.alternans pedeling i got last week, Sadly he spends much time underground thus making him tricky to photograph. This was the best I could do

 

[Galapoheros]

That thing looks tiny! I wasn't sure what it was going by the pic.

Curious as to why you removed the molt , I've been led to believe they like to eat this ?
