Hey, everyone. I was hanging out in an area where I've been seeing a lot of isopods and managed to spot these four little millipedes. I have never seen any this small, and I was wondering if anyone has any idea what kind they are. Found in Newton County, MO, if that's helpful. They're so small that I was able to set up a suitable temp container using just a few spoonfuls of substrate.

Those look a lot like the striped snake millipedes I've seen in Ohio, also called short snake millipedes. Brachyiulus genus.
