Myriapods include the Centipedes and Millipedes as well as Symphylas and Pauropods, the latter two being very difficult to identify with confidence due to a lack of material.
Guernsey has quite a selection of Centipedes and Millipedes with some continental influence as will be set out below. The climate in Guernsey also appears to allow some species to thrive outside where in more northern climes they are restricted to heated greenhouses and similar environments.
I originally intended to include all centipedes and millipedes on the same page, but as I started to input data, I realsed there were more species than I remembered so have since decided to split the pages to Millipedes and Centipedes.
The current Guernsey lists consist of the following species:
Millipedes
(Diplopoda):
I have added photographs below of the species I have found, a few of the species recorded in Guernsey in the past continue to evade me but I will add my own photographs when I manage to locate a specimen for photography.
