Killerpix Photo Contest - Caterpillar - Millipedes - Entry No- #2

in #killerpix6 years ago

I am not really sure if the Millipedes fall into the same family as a Caterpillar but it does have a lot of similarities so i am going to enter the Millipede because i do feel it needs some mention and been so unusual looking with all it's little legs and texture i reckon it's a beautiful creature.

Most millipedes move very slowly even though they have some many legs , they feed on decaying leave and plants and also suck on plant fluids. Millipedes can though become quite a garden or household pest by them living in your gardens they can certainly eat away your plants and cause severe damage to emergent seedlings.

Generally Millipedes are completely harmless to humans if left alone but if annoyed to defend themselves they do let out a variety of chemicals secreted from pores along the body which can give you a nasty rash so to be safe let them be and avoid contact with them.
