Kulat kaki seribu ( Trigoniulus corallines )

Kulat Kaki seribu ( Trigoniulus corallines ) is a species of millipede native to the area around Thailand and Myanmar. It is also found in North America, as an introduced species.
HABITAT: Millipedes have caused some problems  in the summer and fall. Areas around houses that provide these conditions include piles of grass clippings, a wooded lot close to the house, excessive mulch around the house, and similar locations. Protected moist areas, under logs and stones, and in greenhouses. 

LIFE CYCLE: They lay eggs in the spring and populations build up during the summer. Under good conditions (adequate food and habitat), populations can become very large. Then changes in the habitat (excessive moisture, lack of food, too little moisture) cause the population to disperse.
