Millipedes and Centipedes
Only a few Millipedes and Centipedes have been found and identified in the area. The Pill Millipede Glomeris marginata. has been found in Chalet Wood, Wanstead Park, as has a White-legged Snake Millipede - also known as the Black Millipede - Tachpodius niger. What I believe to be the Blunt-tailed Snake Millipede Cylindroiulus punctatus has been found on Wanstead Flats, and - similarly of uncertain species - the Blue-striped Millipede Cylindroiulus caeruleocinctus in the City of London Cmetery. The centipede Lithobius forficatus has also been found in Wanstead Park, and another centipede Haplophilus subterraneus is common in my garden in Capel Road, Manor Park.
