First Open Pill Millipede!

Post by fletcher »

First Open Pill Millipede!:

Another spot on our Habitats and Hillforts first Event on Saturday was this pill millipede Glomeris marginata. First spot: http://www.record-lrc.co.uk/forum/viewt ... f=28&t=402

I was really pleased to get one open as I usually find these (or possibly pill bugs Armadillidium vulgare) tightly curled up.

I am fairly confident in the ID as this specimen is very shiny and its antennal segments are very short in comparison to those of the A.vulgare.

Any comments or corrections welcome!

Eric
