| Harpaphe, specifically Harpaphe haydeniana, is a species of flat-backed millipede, also known as the yellow-spotted millipede, almond-scented millipede, or cyanide millipede. These millipedes are characterized by their dark coloration with contrasting yellow-tipped keels, a feature that signals their ability to secrete toxic hydrogen cyanide as a defense mechanism. They are found in moist forests along the Pacific coast of North America, from Southeast Alaska to California |
