Cylindroiulus punctatus (also known as the blunt-tailed snake millipede) is a species of millipede in the Julidae family. It was described by Leach in 1815 and can be found in western Europe,[1] including Great Britain.[2] It has been introduced in North America. [3]
Description and habitat
The species are brown coloured and have 100 legs, with which, despite the amount, they still move slowly. They are punctuated, but its difficult to spot the dots. It can be found inside the trees, just under the bark. They live a long time, with females laying eggs every three years.[2]
