    Very nice Phil, I like the shots off the perspex.

    These guys are always on the move and can be tough to shoot in my neck of the woods. :)

    Phil, would I be right in guessing that this millipede is not tiny?
    I know there are different varieties of them, but the ones I find here,
    in their circled up state, you could fit maybe 10 or more on a Penny.

    I've seen a documentary on TV where the Millipedes were very large,
    several inches long and almost as thick as a persons finger.

    Looks like it's admiring itself in the reflection rolleyes1.gif

    Hmmm wonder why they need so many legs headscratch.gif
    Thanks for sharing thumb.gif ..... Skippy :D
