Hi, Can anyone tell me what this is? It looks like something emerging fom a pupa, but I really haven't clue  As I ecall it wasn't more than a couple of millimetres. Any ideas?The rather bad photo was taken 8 June 2008 in a forest in Helsingborg, Sweden.  |

Hi! This is surely the end of a milliped Legs are visible. It may be possible to name a supposed family for it. I'll look after it. Funny picture Best regards, Walter |

Could the pinkish mass below the millipede be the work of a parasitic wasp, its cocoon? |
