We edited his message down a bit, but have decided to share the bulk of it because it is so informative: “My home is a single family, two-story house on a concrete slab foundation built on soil that is just about 100% red clay. We do have a medium-sized flower bed that runs the length of our (concrete) front porch. The flower bed is edged with stone, filled with top soil and mulch, and is home to a few hostas, tiger lilies, and dianthus. This little bugger was approximately 2 inches long and continued to wriggle and crawl after I picked it up. I checked your site, and I think my critter may be the same as or similar to the ones discussed in your Earthworm with Feelers? and Semi-Transparent Worm with Spots is a Millipede articles. From the images I’ve found on Google, my best guess is that this critter is a ‘soil centipede’, a creature you discussed in your Millipedes, Centipedes, and Intricate Tree Damage article. The image in this post also lacked enough detail for you to make a definite identification, and I can’t tell either whether it matches my critter.”
