So, millipedes are primarily detritivores. Unlike centipedes which are carnivorous and kill their prey by injecting them with venom.
So is this just a fight to the death, or is it a mating ritual?
Common garden species of this type are from the Orders Chordeumatida and Polydesmida. The false flat-backed millipede Nanogona polydesmoides is in the first order, and the large British and Irish population is globally important, and the only other country where it is common is western France. These two are I think the common flat-back Polydesmus coriaceus?

Fastest creature on Earth I believe.
This little chap posed on the rusty shed lock. Quite small still, lots of moults to be found in the shed before the year is out.

This is possibly a sawfly larva that is about 4mm in length. It constantly flicked it's head as it moved around the crevice of a leaf. Near impossible to land an in focus shot but I'm a trier if nowt else!
I think I nudged the aperture back by accident to f/5.6 so the DoF was even narrower than normal - but it at least isolated the face and made it more "there"...

Watching one catch a Rock Dove off the coast in North Wales, was one of the most spectacular things I`ve ever seen.
Pure fluke too.
I was running on an exposed cliff top and I`d stopped on a bit that juts out, to see if the pod of dolphins that used the bay was around. As I was scanning the horizon, I noticed a " black dot " dropping vertically out of the sky. As it got lower I could see it was a Peregrine dropping out of the sun, onto a small flock of Rock Doves.
The dove never knew what hit it, just an explosion of feathers and it was all over.
Another one that sticks out, was watching a Hobby hunting Swallows on the fells by Muncaster Castle in Cumbria.
Like a tiny fighter bomber hugging the ground, as it went after the Swallows.
