User's notes

Under a rock with other millipedes, I am assuming it is a different species (and assuming the others are Portuguese).

I can't definitely ID the dark ones, they may be Julidan (this includes Portuguese millipedes) but from the distinctive plates on the pale coloured one it is a Dalodesmid millipede
