Blunt-tailed Snake Millipede
Cylindroiulus punctatus
Adults inhabit moist deciduous woodland, sheltering in leaf litter, rotting timber, and crevices under bark. They slowly graze on decaying leaves, fungi, and dead wood, helping return nutrients to the soil. When disturbed, they curl into a protective coil and release a foul defensive chemical secretion.
