Costa Rica Travel - Millipedes in the Monteverde Cloud Forest

Can you help us identify what kind of millipede this is? We found it while walking through the Monteverde Cloud Forest in Costa Rica. We do our best to label our travel photos correctly.

    Do a Google Images search for “Nyssodesmus python” – that’s what I believe this is (or something very close)…

    Shots like this make me appreciate how amazing these creatures are so much more than when they wriggling over my head and hands when trying to get through the Cu Chi Tunnels in Vietnam.
