[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
this is a millipede we found on Vancouver Island.
The yellow colour and lack of camoflage suggests the critter has a bad taste to birds.
A quick reference check in Wikipedia confirmed that yes, when a bird bites into the bug, cyanide gas is released from the millipede's body.
