North American Millipede

While outside this afternoon, Tyler and the group of kids we were with discovered something huge crawling on the tennis court. Myself, along with the other mom, were trying to figure out what it was because it was gigantic and fast moving. It was about 3 inches long! Meanwhile, the kids were fascinated watching it. I took a couple of photos so I could look it up when I got home and properly identify it. Turns out it is a North American Millipede and yes, they can grow up to 3 inches in length. Mystery solved.
