Its contrasting dark-and-yellow pattern gives it a distinctive appearance, while the scientific name keeps this animal separate from other “ducky” pill millipedes found in the hobby.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eVietnam Ducky vs Bomba Ducky\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese two pill millipedes can look related at first glance because both show strong dark-and-yellow contrast, but they should not be treated as the same species. Hyleoglomeris lobus was described from Vietnam, while Hyleoglomeris bomba was described from Thailand. Published H. bomba specimens show broad yellow bands against a dark body, producing a stronger bumblebee-like pattern. The published description of H. lobus instead records yellow edging and a thin medial yellow line on its otherwise black anal shield.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are comparing them before buying, see our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/bomba-pill-millipede\"\u003eBomba Ducky Pill Millipede\u003c\/a\u003e.
