American Giant Millipede / Worm Millipede (Narceus americanus/annularis complex)
Can't separate the two species (N. americanus and N. annularis) so it's a "complex". These are the huge, red-striped millipedes.

Round-Backed (or Snake) Millipedes (Julida)
In NJ there are two main families: Julidae (invasive) and Parajulidae (native). I cannot separate them.
