Myriapods

The subphylum Myriapoda includes centipedes, millipedes, pauropods, and symphylans. They live in soil, some digging burrows, preferring areas with high moisture, consistent temperature, and low levels of ultraviolet light. Centipedes are primarily predators. Symphylans are generally root-feeders. Pauropods eat fungi, and millipedes eat dead leaf litter.
