On rare occasions I bump into a little fellow known as a Pill Millipede. I have seen them on only 2-3 occasions. Once or twice at Nam Nao NP and another at Khao Soi Dao Wildlife Sanctuary, Chantaburi. I think they are great little fellows which curl up into a ball when disturbed, giving them their vernacular name. I'm sure there are several species in Thailand, but I can't seem to find out much about them. Any help?
Here's another specimen I disturbed ... he curled into a ball to provide good defence against predators and fat photographers alike.
