The Diplopoda (Millipedes) Also most millipedes are nocturnal. They are generally speaking harmless but most species have a series of metathoracic glands which produce a repellent substance which they can exude when they feel threatened. In some larger species this fluid can be corrosive and cause blistering of the skin in large doses.

- What eats millipedes? Different types of animals eat millipedes, including hedgehogs,  herons, shrews, robins, scorpions, reptiles, and ground beetles.  Millipedes are multi-segmented arthropods …that are scavengers and  eat decaying plant matter. Making the world better, one answer at a time.

Sowbugs, millipedes, and centipedes in the home Sowbugs, millipedes, and centipedes are not actually insects, but are arthropods related to insects. They are not harmful to food, clothes, furniture, or other items within homes, although just their presence can be disturbing.entipedes are predators, feeding on small, living creatures such as insects, spiders, and other arthropods, like sowbugs, and millipedes. They use poison-filled jaws to help subdue their prey. Because of their predaceous habits, centipedes are beneficial arthropods.

Managing Centipedes & Millipedes Centipedes and millipedes are not insects because they have more than six legs, but they are closely related invertebrates. When outdoors, these invertebrates are innocuous organisms, but they may be considered pests when they share living space with us.

Centipedes, Millipedes and Sow Bugs A pair of long, slender antennae extend forward from the head. Centipedes are predatory, feeding on small insects, spiders and other anthropods (like sow bugs). Because they are hunters, they are very quick and agile.

- Centipedes under Stones: The shiny brown centipedes that scuttle away when stones and logs are turned nearly all belong to the group known as lithobiids or stone dwellers. They are much broader than the geophilids, their legs are much longer, and they run much faster.

- Post by on Sept 25, 2006 14:52:43 GMT -8. Interesting. But I thinks it's because you haven't got your gerbils for long so they still adjusting to their new surroundings. In general gerbils aren't nocturnal, they sleeps for about 4 h, then they are awake for 4 h and so on..

Looking at a Millipede's Diet Millipedes can be an occasional pest, gathering around windowpanes and in basements, especially in the spring and fall. They can be a concern for homeowners in large numbers, but they cannot sting or bite you. What they do bite is already dead, as millipedes are scavengers searching out decaying sources of sustenance.

Diplopoda These invertebrates have long thin bodies made of many segments, protected by an exoskeleton. Each segment has two pairs of legs. They have a pair of antennae on their head, and chewing mouthparts. Most have glands along their body that make toxic compounds to discourage predators. Most millipedes are darkly colored, but some very toxic ones are bright.

- Identifying Millipedes. Millipedes (Figure 1) are often confused with other arthropods commonly found in soil, such as wireworms (Figure 2) and centipedes (Figure 3). Millipedes have elongated, cylindrical bodies that range in length from 1-10 cm at maturity.nlike millipedes, they have only one pair of legs per body segment. Centipede legs are generally longer and tend to stick out along the sides of their bodies. Wireworms only have three pairs of legs, all located on the thorax (Figure 5).

- Outdoor centipedes are generally long, flattened and yellow to brownish in color. They live in moist, protected areas such as under mulch, leaf litter, logs and rocks. Most are active at night.

Pneumodesmus Pneumodesmus newmani is a species of millipede that lived 428 million years ago, in the Late Silurian. It is the first myriapod, and the oldest known creature to have lived on land. It was discovered in 2004, and is known from a single specimen from Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. 1 Discovery and naming.

Millipede Each double-legged segment is a result of two single segments fused together. Most millipedes have very elongated cylindrical or flattened bodies with more than 20 segments, while pill millipedes are shorter and can roll into a ball. Although the name millipede derives from the Latin for thousand feet, no known species has 1,000; the record of 750 legs belongs to Illacme plenipes.

The chemical defenses of millipedes (diplopoda): Biochemistry, physiology and ecology Not surprisingly, predators respond evolutionarily to prey defense mechanisms, resulting in an “arms race.” Predators on millipedes are no exception, and not only are there millipede specialists, but some predators and parasites have evolved means of using the defensive secretions to find millipedes.ot surprisingly, predators respond evolutionarily to prey defense mechanisms, resulting in an “arms race.” Predators on millipedes are no exception, and not only are there millipede specialists, but some predators and parasites have evolved means of using the defensive secretions to find millipedes.

- They provide the mites with a home and food, and the mites keep the millipede’s exoskeleton clean by eating debris off of it. These mites are harmless to people. • There are over 1000 species of millipedes worldwide. • One way to distinguish a millipede from a centipede is by the number of legs and segments.

House Centipedes House centipedes tend to occur in damp, undisturbed areas of homes like basements and generally no control is needed. If, however, you do decide to control these arthropods here are some suggestions: If possible dry out damp areas and clean up any debris where centipedes might hide.

- If water becomes scarce, millipedes will sometimes eat leaves and roots of living plants for the moisture they contain. Although they do not bite, some millipedes defend themselves another way. They produce an unpleasant-smelling liquid from glands on their sides.

- The giant African millipede lives in rainforests. 1  Millipede: mille means thousand; pede means feet. 2  Centipede: centi means hundred; pede means feet.  A detritivore such as the millipede is an herbivore that eats decaying plant material.

- Most frogs and toads are nocturnal, however there are some groups which are largely diurnal. These include the Dendrobatidae (poison-dart frogs) and Mantellas which are found in tropical forests of Central/South America and Madagascar, respectively. * The term diurnal refers to a tide which has a period or cycle of approximately one tidal day (about 25 hours). Diurnal tides usually have one high and one low tide each day. The tides at Karumba are a typical example of diurnal tides.

- Adult centipedes hide in moist, dark and secluded areas during winter. They place eggs in dampened soil during summer or spring. As centipedes become adults, they grow a complete set of legs and extra segments. Most centipedes live for more than a year and some up to six years.

Are Frogs Nocturnal? ANSWER: Most species of frogs are nocturnal, but many others are diurnal. There are over 4,800 distinct frog species living in a variety of habitats, and each species has adapted a sleep pattern that suits its diet and surroundings.rogs that hunt and breed during the day have developed very different defenses from nocturnal frogs. Many poisonous frogs, such as dart frogs and and mantellas, are diurnal. Instead of camouflaging themselves and hiding, as most nocturnal frogs do, diurnal frogs secrete toxic chemicals that protect them from predators.
