Giant Millipede in close-up

The giant African millipede is the largest species of millipede on the planet. This beautiful animal, walking on some lichens, is herbivorous and has two pairs of legs per segment. Despite their name, these creatures do not have a thousand legs; common species have between 80 and 400. Millipedes can be easily distinguished from the closely related centipedes (Class Chilopoda), which move rapidly, and have a single pair of legs for each body segment.
Archispirostreptus gigas (Arthropod of the class Diplopoda)

They're quite curious and harmless creatures. I had one crawl on my hand once, it's a unique sensation you can't really describe. I've grown a huge liking for them.

Seems to be quite intelligent if it realises it can't fit and therefore goes over it.
