And this wikipedia link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millipede "Most millipedes are herbivorous, and feed on decomposing vegetation or organic matter mixed with soil. Some species have piercing mouthparts that allow them to feed on plant juices." (Wikipedia) I have seen population of this creature on Bottle Brush bark. http://ecoport.org/ep?SearchType=pdb&PdbID=98652 Not sure what they are doing here.
