I got this picture from sister’s my-space. She took this one during her vacation in the Ph. Anyway, in our dialect we call it labod. In English, I don’t know if this is one kind of millipede.

There are different types, colors and scientific names of millipedes. But according to what I’ve read in insects.tamu.edu scientific name of millipede is Diplopoda. I’ve also searched further at Wikipedia and it says that millipede is in class diplopoda which is previously known as Chilognatha.

On the other hand, labod or millipede won’t bite. But mostly people will be scared by its look. And…me…I’m also scared!
