Creepy Crawler!

Meet the Madagascar Fire Millipede. Well it took me sometime to search for the name of this specie.
It has a bright red and black body and yellow legs. And obviously originated in Masdagascar.. :)

It can grow up to four inches long and is considered by many to be the most attractive millipede available. This species can be bred in captivity but is not always very easy.
(Special thanks to my friend Raymond who holds up these creepy so I was able to take this shot.. hehehe..)

Trivia:
The largest millipede in the world is the African Giant Black Millipide (Graphidostreptus gigas), which reaches a length of 11 inches and a diameter of 3/4 of an inch.
