| Brown and black millipede, likely *Narceus americanus*, crawls on earthy ground amidst twigs, small stones, and decaying leaves. It's cylindrical with numerous legs along its segmented body. The ground is uneven with visible patches of dirt, bark, and sparse vegetation, typical of a forest floor.
