Orthoporus ornatus Desert Millipede Small

Description

Orthoporus ornatus desert millipedes grow to six inches. This darker, unbanded color form tends to occur in the Sonoran Desert and emerges during the desert monsoon rains. They tolerate dry conditions rather well.

This species tends to feed more on fruits and vegetables than leaf litter.

Available through this listing for “small” individuals measuring 1 to 3 inches at $6 each. Unsexed only. (Larger ones are listed in the related products section, below.)
