What the heck is this?!?

[Toy4x4]

I thought I'd tracked a large piece of grass into the bathroom...until it moved! What is this thing?!? Its about two inches long, multiple legs and is a light tan color.
Freaking me out there may be more!

Maybe some kind of millipede, but not what it shown on wiki. This thing is less that 1/16th of an inch wide.

Did it have one pair of legs per body segment (centipede) or two pair of legs per body segment (milliipede)? It was not discernible in the photo.

Since there are approx. 7,000 species of such critters, it would be necessary to determine c. vs m. first.

Was it a boy or a girl? Gonads are visible on the males.

I can't tell. Its too small. I can barely make out the legs and can definately see them in the photo much better. I could see some short antenna waving about on the front.

Looking at the pic again it looks like two legs per segment.

Here ya go. Is this him?

 

[Toy4x4]

That looks like what it is. I can't photograph any closer with my camera so its hard to tell with the legs.

I would not eat it!

 

[Toy4x4]

Jeez! Just found a second one!! What the [censored]!

Are you guys having a drought in Scottsdale? They might be moving in to cooler places.

 

[Toy4x4]

Right now it seems a bit drier than normal, but August is our wettest month. I've been here 25 years and these conditions aren't new so I don't know what made these bugs show up.

Maybe it's a GMO.
