A millipede genus that reaches the trade as genus-only import stock, red-legged in the common forms, and identified about as precisely as the shipping manifest allows.
Detritivore rules entire: deep substrate rich in decaying hardwood, calcium, a moisture gradient, and the animals do the rest. Docile, long-lived, staining defensive fluid when stressed.
Genus-level labels are the millipede trade's default honesty, because species identification in imported stock is specialist work nobody pays for. Supply follows shipments, wild adults arrive at unknown ages, and captive breeding stays uncommon. Priced by the pulse, bought by the photograph, kept by the substrate.
