Found by C. this guy immediately curled into a C to protect himself. With two legs per segment on most of his body we guessed correctly - it's a millipede! When we find something we haven't met in person before we like to do some research, I included some of our best finds below.
As you can see from this photo this millipede is about as long as C's little finger...
