Description
The Chordeumatida is a fascinating group of tiny, soil-dwelling arthropods commonly referred to as millipedes. Despite their name, these creatures are often mistaken for their more familiar relatives due to their elongated bodies and multitude of legs. Unlike the popular belief that all millipedes are venomous, most species are harmless and actually contribute to soil health by breaking down organic matter. Furthermore, some individuals can even curl into a spiral for protection, showcasing their unique adaptation skills. This remarkable order exemplifies the often-overlooked complexity and ecological importance of small organisms in our environment.
