millipede caterpillar (Trigoniulus corallinus)

hello friends, good morning this morning I would like to add about millipede caterpillars that we often encounter in rotting trees and plants, millipede caterpillars are the Order of members of invertebrates belonging to the phylum Arthropoda, class Myriapoda.

The body of this animal is cylindrical, the number of segments is about 25-100, each segment has only one pair of legs and each abdomen has five pairs of legs and two pairs of spiracles. These animals reproduce by laying eggs,and for food in general millipedes eat the remains of rotting plants. However, there are some species that are classified as carnivores. They swallow the food they find, extract the nutrients, and then excrete the indigestible remains. This way of eating does not apply to some species that have sucking mouth types.

thank you, hopefully useful and happy new year which is only a matter of days.
