This cute little Georgia Flat-Backed Millipede was hanging out in a pile of dead leaves along the side of the trail we were hiking on recently.

Georgia Flat-Backed Millipede (Cherokia georgiana)

Cloaked in a tawny hue and adorned with contrasting lighter patterns, Georgia Flat-Backed Millipede is as striking in appearance as it is in chemical defense, secreting substances to deter predators. This species spends its life roaming the deciduous forest floor, efficiently breaking down leaf litter and contributing to the nutrient cycle with its detritivorous diet. (Picture Insect . Com)

The Georgia flat-backed millipede feeds on plants, usually without causing significant harm. This millipede typically preys on other arthropods and does not directly affect plants. (Picture Insect . Com)
