	Encyclopedia
		Because of the numerous legs, the animals walk slowly, with a wavelike motion of the legs down the body.
		In length they range from about 0.2 to 23 cm (about 0.1 to 9 in); the largest North American species, Narceus americanus, is 10 cm (4 in) long.
		Millipedes have a hard protective layer of calcium-containing chitin (except in some small species), two simple eyes, one pair of mandibles, two short antennae, and (in most species) stink glands with secretions that repel or kill insect predators.

		The deep hollows are thick with rhododhendron and hemlock; so thick is the canopy that the forest near the creeks is almost always soggy damp with a pungency of humus heavy throughout.
		Narceus Americanus, a rather large millipede (around four inches in length average) common in many southern forests:
		The rhododhendron can grow so thick that you've no choice but to start a slow crawl between trunks and around branches and against the ground so close that decayed leaves stick to your face.

		Narceus americanus is one of the largest native North American millipedes.
		In laboratory experiments we measure consumption rate, assimilation efficiency and growth patterns of this large millipede species.
		To determine food choice and nocturnal behavior of Narceus we use a time-lapse photography.

		North American millipede (Narceus americanus) -- This very common millipede is found in damp woodlands throughout the eastern part of the United States.
		It is dark reddish brown in colour, with narrow red bands at the margins of each segment.
		Temperate North American species of millipedes, such as Narceus, can be kept at ordinary room temperatures and do not require any supplemental heat.

		A coiled-up Narceus americanus Millipede had almost managed to hitch a ride with us.
		We had seen quite a few of these large, deeply-coloured Millipedes in the moss and leaf mould at various sites along the trail.
		I took a few photos of the Millipede while it was on the move in an effort to try to get a good look at its many legs.

	What's That Bug: Millipedes
		We believe it is an American Giant Millipede, Narceus americanus.
		Since Millipedes feed on decaying organic matter, and mushrooms also depend on decaying organic matter as a food source, they share the same habitat.
		This is an American Giant Millipede, Narceus americanus.

	Missouri millipedes - Arachnoboards
		Took a quick walk through a small wooded area in northwest Missouri today and came out with a few of these millipedes.
		I'm pretty sure you've got Narcius americanus there.
		They could possibly also be Narcius gordanus...but most likely N. americanus.

		Centipedes have one pair of legs per segment, millipedes have 2 pairs per segment.
		My husband once picked up a Narceus americanus millipede like this one and he quickly learned its' defense mechanism.
		As he held it in his hand, it began to ooze an orange liquid that looked, smelled, and stained like iodine!

	2CoolFishing - Can anyone identify this worm?
		Looks like Bay Gal got it right, with Narceus americanus (except at the top of the page), except it has yellow stripes, not red, but otherwise looks identical.
		Okay, so there are a lot of bugs I don't like.
		But I sure wouldn't use it on Narceus americanus.

		Because of the small size of the ridge forest, bird species — exclusive of the wide ranging raptors — are those adapted to edge habitats and well able to cope with predators.
		Among these are Yellow-billed Cuckoo (Coccyzus americanus), Rufous-sided Towhee (Pipilo erythrophthalmus), Tufted Titmouse (Parus bicolor), White-breasted Nuthatch (Sitta caroliniensis), Great Crested Flycatcher (Myiarchus crinitus), Carolina Wren (Thryothorus ludovicianus), Brown Thrasher (Toxostema rufum), Blue Jay (Cyanocitta cristata), Cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis), American Robin (Turdus migratoris), American Crow (Corvus brachyrhnchos), and Mourning Dove (Zenoida macroura).
		For the size of the bird and tree sizes on the ridge, the Pileated Woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus) is extraordinarily common and has nested there, perhaps again reflecting the richness of habitat.

		A Long Look at Nature, by Margaret Martin
		Narceus americanus, the largest millipede in North Carolina, occurs throughout the state.
		The success of millipedes as a group is undisputed; the oldest living group of land arthropods, they have survived for 420 million years.

		However woodland spiders of the spiny Micranthena type were seen, as were small fleeting white moths and large brownish crane flies.
		A four inch (10 cm) millipede patterned with dark blue and (narrow) maroon bands (Narceus americanus perhaps) was also noted.
		Although the forest on this talus slope is quite rich and diverse, with many of the same species as those developed on calcareous substrate, it is clearly less so as shown particularly by the relative sparseness of the understory shrub and herb layers and its complement of species adapted to acid soils.

	AAS 2002 - Abstracts
		A new state record is documented for Thrinaxoria lampra from Miller County and the finding of V. minutus in Nevada County represents the southwesternmost distributional record for the species.
		Collection of anurans is also being done to look for deformities, diseases, and parasites that might negatively affect populations.
		We are continually monitoring regions and are particularly interested in finding populations of anurans not yet recorded in certain counties of Northeast Texas, including R. areolata, H. avivoca, H. squirella, P. clarki, P. streckeri, and B. valliceps.

		Eventually I concluded this millipede was in the order Spirobolida, and the family Rhinocricidae, which contains genera that might be familiar to millipede fans in North America, including the species Narceus americanus, or American Giant Millipede.
		I immediately thought Narceus too, but with the caveat that I don't really know millipede taxonomy.
		I've kept a few giant African Archispirostreptus gigas, as well as some cute little Orthoporus sp.

		I was wondering anyone could help to identify what it is. Thanks, Caitlin
		This indeed a millipede, possibly Narceus americanus, one of the largest species in North America.
		Although basically harmless (they are detrivores), they will give off a caustic substance if mishandled.
