Millipede

Moist environments, leaf litter, rotting wood, and damp soil; occasionally enter homes through cracks.

Detritivores; they primarily eat decaying organic matter, dead leaves, and occasionally young plant shoots.

Nocturnal; slow-moving; they often curl into a tight spiral when threatened or after death; multiple life stages involve molting.

Generally harmless to humans; do not bite or sting. They act as beneficial decomposers in nature. Some species may secrete a mild irritant liquid that can stain skin or cause minor irritation.
