Arthropods is a grouping of animals that includes insects, spiders, and millipedes (and other things), but millipedes are not an insect and therefore are not found in my insect and spiders field guide. One on-line source states there are 10,000 described species of millipedes, but I don't know a single one and hence can't begin to specify what species this is, but on-line sources also state millipedes have four kinds of body types - cylindrical, bristly, plated, and pill. This is definitely a plated variety. I'm just happy I was able to figure out it is a millipede.
You make me smile with all of your naturalist talk these days. I am impressed you know millipedes are not insects - myriadpod, in fact.
