Flat-backed millipede, in the prairie restoration area at Prophetstown State Park. It was crawling around in the open on a hot sunny day. It had a distinct scent that didn't seem unpleasant. Photo July 22, 2015.
A couple flat-backed millipedes, at Ross Hills County Park. These were crawling on a piece of trash left on the pathway that leads to the Wabash River. Photo July 27, 2015.
I don't know enough about millipedes to identify the species but seems to be in the family Xystodesmidae.
