In this episode of "Arthropod Adventures," Charleigh and I explore the fascinating world of the greenhouse millipede, Oxidus gracilis. We clarify the common misnomer "millipede" and discuss my species' origins in Asia and its accidental introduction to the United States. We cover physical traits, lack of eyesight, diet, habitat, and defense mechanisms. We also touch on the reproductive process and role in soil enrichment.
