I live in Arizona. These have been coming out in the evening. They are 1-2” long and looking like really skinny earthworms. I took it to the local pest supply store and they had never seen anything like it.

Update: my pest control company had never seen anything like it. They sent some examples to ASU to identify. Turns out they are a type of millipede. Very uncommon in this region.

    That’s interesting…I live in some foothills around phoenix with a fairly large lake across the street. I was surprised that the pest control had never seen something like it. Last night, I captured 15.

          Sounds like a climate change symptom, then. We’ve got a lot of critters here we never had before. And a lot are gone we used to have. Well, ok, mostly the latter. But some of the former too.
