Pink, to make the boys (actually girls) wink ...

Here is an amazing little species of millipede that is black with shimmering pink marks. I have spotted this species now in two places: once at a small river near Nam Nao town, Petchabun; and the second at a stream near Phu Rua National Park, Loei. Both times they were under heavy tree cover (but liked the exposed bits) and moved quickly around in soft sandy areas of the bank. At Phu Rua, they were extremely abundant, but difficult to photograph because of the lighting and the speed in which they moved.

Order: Diplopoda

Family: Unknown

Vernacular name: Unknown
