African Pumpkin Millipede

African Pumpkin Millipede
(Ophistreptus guineensis)

Ghana, Africa – "Pumpkin," a smaller African millipede, these orange-red crawlers stay about 4-6" in length – still cool enough to be fun! These jungle recyclers curl-up to protect their tender bellies from predators. Our students say they look like cinnamon rolls! Great for all ages.
