JimB:
I know what this only after asking someone else. Do you know what it's called? Pic was taken in Pennsylvania.

Wally:
Looks like some kind of centipede, but I'm no arthropodologist, so I don't know what kind.

Ed Sutton:
Looks like some form of millipede.

JimB:
It is a type of millipede. I don't know what the common name is but here is the scientific.

Glad I didn't pick it up!

Wally:
It's really different from the millipedes we have around here.  Ours are rather drab in color.  That's what fooled me.  Our centipedes have more color than the millipedes--at least the ones I've seen.
