Description
Yellow-spotted millipede (Harpaphe haydeniana), also known as almond-scented millipede or cyanide millipede, is a species of flat-backed millipedes found in the moist forests along the Pacific coast of North America. The dark coloration with contrasting yellow-tipped keels warns of its ability to exude toxic hydrogen cyanide as a defense.
