At the top of a 3-foot tall fertile frond of a Cinnamon Fern. I believe it may have been killed by the fungus Arthrophaga myriapodina which would explain why it climbed.

Motyxia monicaObserver
prakritDescription
Appears to be M. monica by range and the gonopods look identical to me. M. porrecta is the only one nearby afaik but it seems to be restricted to Kern cyn? Gonopods look very different imo
If they are M. monica I was surprised to see how bright the bioluminescence was. After ~10 min in a dark room it was possible to resolve details of individual rings, legs, antennae, etc. Variation across the range?

Family TingupidaeObserver
harsiparkerDescription
Approximate length = 8 - 9 mm. I found this small millipede by picking up a fallen twig with some attached moss and gently tapping it against the edge of a small plastic container. After taking this series of photos, I returned the millipede back to the moss on the twig where I found it. I always do my best to minimize how much I disturb the critters I wish to photograph -- my aim is to leave them unharmed and in the exact same microhabitat/location where I discovered them.

The bright colors of this millipede caught my eye and when I bent closer, I realized it was dead and giving this slug a snack (I think?)! I think it’s R. trimaculata but I’m not totally sure.
