I work in the basement of a building and every few years, we seem to get quite a few of these millipede-y things running around in the fall. I'm just curious as to what they are. They also crunch really loud if you step on them.
CLOSED: Millipede (?) ID needed, see pics!
A Sharpie for size comparison
They tend to curl up on them selves if they get a little squished.
And another attempt at a close up of its head.
This millipede appears to be in the order Julida, family Parajulidae - see http://tinyurl.com/yj9t8xz for an example. These millipedes are frequent invaders of buildings; they do no apparent harm, but definitely can be nuisance pests.
