Description
Orthoporus ornatus is a North American species of millipede found in the Arizona, New Mexico and Texas - states in the southwestern part of the United States, and as far south as the San Luis Potosà in Mexico. Friendly nonvenomous critters (unlike the centipede who has a painful and venomous bite) they are fascinating to watch and learn about. You can do so on my YouTube channel at www.youtube.comm/waywardmuse. This one was photographed by a desert wash about 50 miles south of Phoenix in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona during monsoon season - the wet season in the desert - when millipedes come out in force!
