Good day, everyone, and welcome to another season of my post on Wednesday walk Community, permit me to share with you what I came across while sweeping the surrendings in the morning.
I was sweeping earlier this morning by 6:15am, when I came across that. It was really moving slowing and calm, I nearly match it before I decided to take a picture of it.
Millipede are arthropods, belonging to the class Diplopoda. They are easily recognized by their long, segmented bodies with two pairs of legs per body segment. Unlike centipedes, which are fast-moving predators.
Millipedes move slowly and mainly feed on decaying plant matter. They are totally harmless but why mistakenly hit or smatch it produce this irritating odour.
It raining season, I believe that why I do come across it, In our tropical areas like my country Nigeria. It do helps in breaking down the organic matters, making the soil gain more nutrients for plants.
Here comes the end of my blog on millipede, till my next entry. Thanks for stopping by. Will love to see you in my next entry.
