Millipede
This picture was taken on my back porch on January 24th 2018. Pictured is a millipede, its one of the least studied animal groups on Earth as well as being some of the oldest known land animals. They have a huge ecological role, which plays an important part in decomposition of leaf litter. Leaf litter contains leaves, rotten wood, rocks and other debris on top of soil. If millipedes aren’t in a moist environment they will die. So during the day millipedes are crawling around under the leaf litter where it’s moist. So they help spread nutrients throughout the soil and are beneficial in breaking down decaying plant matter. The downfall is that millipedes will eat certain fruits lying around on the ground such as in gardens.
