Millipede at BM Hill

A week ago on BM Hill, I came across this millipede in the wild. It must have been about eight inches long and as thick as my ring finger. Although knowing that this wasn't the first time that I've seen a monster so long and that it won't be so meek to curl itself up tightly when threatened, I picked it up with a stick. Yes, it still kept struggling but at least it afforded me some photographic moments before I let it go among the undergrowth.


To my surprise, when I finally let it down, it curled up for a while before it crawled away among the fallen leaves. Another photo opportunity. Scenes like these do not come by frequently.
