Abacion magnum is a species of crested millipede in the family Abacionidae.[1][2][3][4] It is found in North America.[1][5] In captivity Abacion magnum is known to feed on dead insects as well as dead members of its own species. [6] It produces defensive secretions, shown by infrared spectrophotometry and vapor phase chromatography to contain p-Cresol. [7]
