Bumblebee Millipedes are vibrant, tropical detritivores that make excellent cleanup crew members for bioactive terrariums or fascinating, low-maintenance educational pets. Originally native to South America, this species has become naturalized in the southeastern U.S. due to its introduction through the tropical plant trade.
These millipedes are small, hardy, and visually stunning, reaching about 2.5 inches in length when full-grown. We ship them as juveniles so you can watch them grow and thrive in your habitat!
