Narceus americanus is a large millipede of eastern North America. Common names include American giant millipede, worm millipede, and iron worm. It inhabits the eastern seaboard of North America west to Georgetown, Texas, north of the Ottine wetlands. It has a nearly cylindrical gray body, reaching a length of 4 inches (100 mm). They can be commonly found in or under decaying logs from March to October. When threatened, they sometimes curl up or release a noxious liquid that contains large amounts of benzoquinones which can cause dermatological burns. This fluid may irritate eyes or skin. Many other millipedes secrete hydrogen cyanide, and while there have also been claims that N. americanus releases hydrogen cyanide, they are unsubstantiated. They do, however, excrete a substance that caus

| - Narceus americanus est une espèce de gros mille-pattes vivant en Amérique du Nord. Il habite sur la côte est des États-Unis, le sud-est du Canada et jusqu'au centre du Texas. C'est l'un des plus grands myriapodes d'Amérique du Nord atteignant une longueur de douze centimètres. Lorsqu'il est menacé, il se met en boule ou libère un liquide qui contient de grandes quantités de benzoquinones qui peuvent causer des brûlures cutanées. Contrairement à beaucoup d'autres mille-pattes, il ne sécrète pas de cyanure d'hydrogène. (fr)
- Narceus americanus är en mångfotingart som först beskrevs av Palisot de Beauvois 1817. Narceus americanus ingår i släktet Narceus, och familjen Spirobolidae. Inga underarter finns listade. (sv)
