Michigan Millipedes?

[jreidsma]

Hi,

Does anyone know if Michigan has millipedes other than the goofball one inch ones?

Should have Narceus out there somewhere...

Were would I go about finding said millipede? In rotting logs maybe?

The N. americanus looks a lot like the little one inchers we have, but I am color blind so what do I know :sarcasm:

Ive found some Xystodesmidae millipedes in wooded areas in the south eastern parts of our state.

I'm in western Michigan and live in a trailer/mobile home park. So my searching is rather limited but my aunt does have a small forest in her yard so I could look in there if I can go out to her house.

I need more maple/oak wood for my larva anyways

well good luck going to be doing some collecting of my own if it ever stops raining over here.

It has been raining a lot here also, we had a drought and now its flooding. :sarcasm: Michigan is weird that way :: :laugh: :giggle:
