User's notes

I am not sure if these are millipedes. Best guess! The detailed image has been lightened to see if some detail could be gathered. The glossy black in the first image is the normal overall colour. However, note that they are hairy. There are several patches of these in the DSW. This group appears to be eating a fallen eucalypt leaf.
