Millipedes

Millipedes are brown to grey and have long, round worm-like bodies with many segments. They can be identified by the presence of two pairs of legs per body segment. Millipedes normally feed on decaying organic matter but occasionally will damage roots of ornamental plantings. They require a moist habitat and can be found during the day beneath mulch, rocks, leaf litter, or in loose soil.
