FAQs

Are millipedes invertebrates?

Yes, millipedes are invertebrates. They belong to the class Diplopoda within the arthropod phylum, meaning they have jointed legs and an exoskeleton but no backbone, classifying them as invertebrates.

Why am I getting millipedes in my house?

Millipedes often enter houses because they are attracted to damp environments with decaying organic matter such as compost piles, leaf litter, rotting logs, soil under rocks, and potted plants. They may invade indoors when their outdoor habitats become unsuitable or during certain weather changes, looking for moisture and shelter.

Are millipedes harmful?

Millipedes are generally not harmful to humans; they do not bite, sting, or transmit diseases, nor do they damage structures or belongings. Their main defence is to curl up and sometimes secrete a fluid that can cause mild skin irritation for some people, but they are otherwise harmless.

What does a millipede turn into?

Millipedes do not undergo metamorphosis. They hatch as small versions of adults and grow by molting through various stages, gradually adding body segments and legs, remaining millipedes throughout their life.
