It's a very rare case having an encounter with this creature. It was not my first time though, but this was my first time close encounter with it and have it shot with with my camera. Its a way bigger than any creature that i saw having the same characteristic with this one.

While on my way to cr to have a bath, i spotted this black,shiny creature hanging on the wall near the small window of my cr. Its not moving at all and maybe on its deep sleep. So what i did, i took my phone and hang a steemit card on it so i can have it posted and featured in steemit.

Its kind of weird, scary and creepy living creature

First time i saw this, i thought it was a giant worm? I never touched until i found out that this kind of dangerous kind of animals.

I searched for more information about this creature and found out that this kind of shiny shell creature is belong to "Diplopoda" family but common terms used to call it is "millipede" because of its thousand feet. We called it "Bayod" in our dialect. I am not so familiar with it, so i take a look on how google determine on it.

I learned very creepy about this creature

I got information from my brother, this thing is different and very dangerous. It has its own biological warfare and produces liquid acid that can even burn and can blind eyes.

While searching for an information, this creature has a defensive secretions are mostly harmless to humans . It's kind of liquid thing that can cause burn skin or discoloration. Despite of their harmful character, they are useful in some other way's as well. They are pest but they can also kill those pests who are more than harmful in society.

In some other country, this creature are used as medicine. The secretion from its body are used to threat wounds. Some used the secretion as poison for arrows and knife blades. But the most creepy is, there are some cultures who considered it as foods.
