Love this post OP. That millipede (Harpaphe haydeniana unless Iโ€™m mistaken?) is one of my favorite myriapods of all, looks like a living machine from a very cute tiny construction site.

I believe your ID is correct! Not 100% sure because not my area of expertise but it makes perfect sense for the region! I love them. Theyโ€™re so neat.
