Millipede

Paul Iddon

Millipedes are found in most parts of the world, they are Myriapods, which means they have a short head, long segmented body and many pairs of legs. Each body segment has two pairs of legs. This one is on a housebrick - you can see old cement and some mosses and a small splinter of a dead plant stem...

C&C as always encouraged.

A first class shot Paul as they are not the easiest to shoot as they are always on the move. Well done.

Lovely capture Paul - don't seem to get these in my garden.
Think I would have cropped this a bit to remove a bit of the OOF foreground.

Cheers guys.

It does look OK in the letterbox format Brian, I had that suggested elsewhere.

Very nice shot on a tough subject. Getting a low angle on these guys is hard! I have not been successful so far.

Great capture, Paul. How large was this? I remember seeing one as a boy that was several inches long, not unlike the one in this photo.

It was maybe only an inch and half long, not much more.
