Most interesting. I have read the only thing millipedes can do in self defense is exude a mild acid that is only some what dangerous if you rub your eyes after handling one so the red marking on your arm is a surprise. What a tiny little frog. Probably has a great song.

I like that weevil best but all are good.

Thank you both, it was quite an unpleasant surprise, it was quite painful, I thought that I had been sunburnt at first but when the mark appeared I realized it was the millipede.
