Comment Just to clarify, I transferred the video from YouTube, but did not create it. Credit goes to Parryville Media. It would be ideal if the species ID and and location was known with more accuracy: I can only assume the location is Australia, and do not know enough about Australian millipedes to narrow the identity below order. --Animalparty (talk) 01:36, 28 October 2019 (UTC)- Animalparty aren't these centipede ? -- Eatcha (talk) 01:52, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
- No, they are millipedes in the order Polydesmida. The presence of 2 pairs of legs on most body segments is the most visible trait distinguishing them from centipedes (which only have one leg pair per segment). --Animalparty (talk) 01:55, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

I withdraw my nomination I only know the order(beacuse of Animalparty ), bad news is there are 29 families which contains 3,500 species in this order. I can't even find the family, no hope for genus or species. Sorry -- Eatcha (talk) 02:19, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
