A place to add everything I see on my visits to Kirk lane and Nunroyed park. At the time I believe I have named everything right to the best of my knowledge but there will be an odd few that are wrong. Those marked with a "*" are most likely to be that species but have not been confirmed.
Millipede (Blaniulid)
14 November 2018*
Looks to be a Blaniulid...something along the lines of Archiboreoiulus pallidus / Blaniulus guttulatus / Boreoiulus tenuis? (FACEBOOK)
Identification
Live specimens are easily recognisable, being a pale cream colour with contrasting scarlet ozadenes along the sides of the body. It is blind, completely lacking ocelli. Confusion is most likely with the two other blind Blanulids Archiboreoiulus pallidus and Boreoiulus tenuis, which both have orange ozadenes. Julid millipedes, such as the blind Cylindroiulus vulnerarius, are much more robust and lack the contrast in body and ozadene colour. (LINK)
