Xystocheir Pedes

[Kevin]

Well today I went to my grandparents cabin do some maintenance and of course I had to go browse the forest for critters. Found a few bright red soil centipedes, 1 decent sized Tiger centipede. But my favorite find was Xystocheir spp millipedes. They glow under UV light like scorpions do. I have never found them before, but it does appear they are only around during fall and winter.
