Millipedes Information Report

What is long, wiggly and has lots of legs?

Soil millipedes are harmless and you will find lots of these living life in the Frankley School bush.  But if you find a millipede in the bush take care because they can bite and infect you with chemicals if you’re not careful.

Lifecycle

Millipedes can live from 7 to 10 years old and females can lay 20 to 30 eggs at a time.  Millipedes sometimes come indoors when the weather gets cold. They can’t live in dry areas, though, and they usually die within a few days.

Habitat

Millipedes sometimes come inside when it gets cold but they can’t live in a dry area.  Millipedes and centipedes live in the soil and are camouflaged in the soil so predators don't kill them or come and eat them.



Predators

Millipedes are prey to ground beetles, ants, and spiders.  In their natural habitat, most millipedes are scavengers.  They eat damp or decaying wood and particles. (A little portion of leaf matter.)  They also eat decaying leaves and other plants materials.  If their habitat starts to dry out they will attack living plants.


Remember don't be scared they're not scary.

I chose to write about millipedes because I wanted to know a little bit more about millipedes I also didn't know lots of these facts until I looked them up or found them on a site.
These were lots of interesting facts for me.
I hope you all learn a little or lots from this Information report.
