A group of students wanted to know if millipedes prefer moist or dry environments. They suspected that millipedes would prefer moist environments because they had observed that millipedes are usually found under decaying logs.

Answer:

The suspicion of the students are very correct. Millipedes prefer damp environments. They need water moisture to survive.

Step-by-step explanation:

Millipedes are known as arthropods. An Arthropod is an animal without a spinal vertebra, which possesses a segmented body, paired jointed appendages, and an exoskeleton.

They are found to be very ardent and quicker at recycling natural waste than animals and plants.

Without adequate moisture, Millipedes can die within 48 hours.

Cheers!
