Pill millipedes!

These guys feed on lichen and look to be quite young still!

Hexagonal hunterslug, Chlamydephorus sexangulus, Chlamydephorinae

Hunterslugs are primarily predators, but will also occasionally eat plant matter. They have been recorded eating pill millipedes, snails, other arthropods, and soft-bodied invertebrates such as earthworms. The prey is subdued by injecting a toxin into its flesh. Found in South Africa.

Found this beautiful beastie trying to cross the street today

Took it to some leaf litter and let it free

What was really interesting was the fact if you looked very closely it has tiny yellow spots (i dont think you can see them on this picture)

All the little babies from @littlewigglers arrived 🥰🥰
