Nice shots! I also have milipedes.
Curious, what type of container do you keep em in? Any pics?

I can get some pictures this weekend! The bumblebees (I was sent 6) are in a 16 quart tub with a good 2 through 4 inches of substrate and ventilation holes on the sides. The pill millipedes are in a 6 quart tub since they're so tiny, I believe I was sent 3 or 4. They also have ventilation holes on the sides.

I have a tank of bumblebees, too.
A few adults were in the plants I bought for the rehab chameleon, and they bred and now I have a decent colony! They like rotted wood and hardwood leaves for meals, I haven't gotten them to touch anything else.
The pill milis are neat. I did not realize there were species native to the US!

Thank you! I just really love invertebrates. There's so many out there and seeing other people being able to appreciate them makes me happy!

Ooh... good thing I mixed some chunks of rotting wood and live oak leaves into their substrate. Weird how they showed up in the plants!
I didn't either until the person who sent me them asked if I'd be interested! They're of the genus Onomeris.

Does anyone have red/black millipedes? I have found some of them out in the woods before, under logs and such.

Where are you from? Possible species depends on location. Just saying a state or province would be sufficient.
