This is a Pemba millipede. They slowly become distinct because of the new construction in different parts in Pemba. They feed on fruits which fall down from trees. In Swahili it is known as "jongoo". Many people in Pemba do not like them. Although they are "shining" and "glittering", yet people consider them to be dirty. There is a song by the late Remmy Ongala which says "Jongoo mpenda watu, na watu hawampendi" (The millipede likes people but people do not like it).
