Millipedes

Millipedes are similar to Centipedes, except that they're non-predatory, usually dark, and have two pairs of legs per body segment (and subsequently, usually slower than the fast moving centipedes).

They feed mainly on decaying plant tissue but will eat insect carcasses and excrement. They break up, consume and process raw plant material, leaving droppings that in turn feed Bacteria and Fungi.
