Native bush, in wet plant litter among fallen Nikau fronds.
Body length 37 mm.(antennae not included)
Probably unnamed. I would call it Peripatoides aff. indica or P. aff. aurorbis.
Absolutely splendid & my very best find in 2022.
I am still crazy excited by this. The colour was literally velvet.
I released the individual after photography.
My post of this Velvet worm achieved 100k likes and 11 million impressions on my twitter(url)!

It's that time of year ago where I see these on numerous trips out on the water. Often in numbers in 2 or 3, they are a cool sight out on the big blue.

VERY cute and tame robin!
Every now and then it would descend into a small pit with a grate where the water from the kitchen would drain to, where it was seemingly drinking water and picking away particles of food.
