Beautiful little millipede! Some species are dangerous to handle (eject poison from their bodies) and I'm sure there are no native Hawaiian millipedes. If I lived on an island I'd be obsessed with trying to figure out all the terrestrial animals that got there on potted plants.

I haven't got a rap sheet on Millipedes, but there are centipede species that make their living by killing and eating mice or bats. Fun stuff.

I didn't know they ate small mammals. That's pretty cool.
