Millipede (Asiomorpha coarctata)

One night back in 2012, I was looking for moths outside my door and this little fellow wandered by. Searching the Internet, this could possibly be  the Millipede, Asiomorpha coarctata

 

Pill Millipede (Oniscomorpha)

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.

 

Red-Winged Dragon Millipede (Desmoxytes sp.)

Not quite the Shocking Pink Dragon Millipede discovered in 2007, but still rare and relatively unknown, is the Red-Winged Dragon Millipede (I think this is the correct ID) ... which is ironically also shocking pink! I have come across this fast-moving and difficult to photograph species on two occasions at sandy-bottomed streams around Nam Nao, Petchabun. If anyone can add info, I would be most obliged.

 

 

 

Thai Rainbow Millipede (Tonkinbolus dollfusi)

I often see large brownish and reddish coloured millipedes wandering across footpaths and roads on quiet, damp mornings. However, one day I bumped into this rather dashing-looking fellow at Phu Wiang NP, in Khon Kaen, one wet June morning in 2011. He is known as a Thai Rainbow Millipede or Tonkinbolus dollfusi. He was large in size and spectacular in colour. I will add other species soon.
