Millipede
It’s spring! I no longer have to find arthropods under junk in the basement! Now the biggest issue in photographing them is speed - most insects, spiders, and centipedes move so quick that it’s hard to get a picture. I tried to get pictures of a ground beetle, a centipede, any of the thousands of flies that were popping out of hibernation, and a moth, and ended up with a lot of pictures either of fast-moving blurs, or of vacant spots where my subjects had been up until just a second ago.
Except for this one. This is a millipede, and based on the image at BugGuide [1], it is a member of the family Parajulidae. It was moving nice and slow, and allowed me to move it somewhere that there was good contrast, decent lighting [2], and nothing to hide behind.
