Millions of Millipedes

We had a nice rain today and the yard was thankful. After it completed, Lexie and I stepped out onto the back porch to take in the rich green beauty of the cool damp yard. Lexie looked over at the back of the house and noticed something odd. There were lots of little things on the wall. She pointed them out to me and we realized there were millions of millipedes. Actually hundreds is more accurate, but they were millipedes.

I had my iPhone with me, so I took some photos. The millipedes are hard to see so you might need to click on the thumbnails so you can look closely at the full size versions.

This is the view looking down from the back porch:

To get a closer look, I went down to ground level and took a shot through the bushes:

This is the first time we’ve ever seen this. I wonder if it will be the last.
