User's notes

The millipede is presumably a female based on the unmodified legs. (See michaelb's comment on gonopods in sighting 4378394). It was carrying at least 4 mites, two of which can be seen in the second image. These are covered in following sighting 4417608. Thanks to Marcus Leach for the initial sighting.
