Millipedes will coil into a small circle when they are disturbed

	Millipedes APPEARANCE: Most millipedes are brownish or blackish, wormlike, segmented and slow moving. Each body segment has two pairs of very short legs. Millipedes that commonly invade buildings are about 1/4 - 1 inch long and tend to coil up like a watch spring when disturbed. HABITAT: They occasionally become pests when they migrate into buildings from their usual habitat outdoors. While millipedes sometimes enter in large numbers, they do not bite, sting, or transmit diseases, nor do they infest food, clothing or wood. DIET: In nature millipedes are scavengers and feed mainly on decaying organic matter. They occasionally feed on young plants but the damage inflicted is seldom significant. LIFE CYCLE/REPRODUCTION: Adult females lay up to a few hundred eggs in soil, leaf litter, etc., and the immatures pass through a series of molts, gradually increasing in size. TYPES OF DAMAGE: Millipedes often invade crawl spaces, damp basements and first floors of houses at ground level, however they are not known for any particular damage.		Types of Insect Categories
