They thrive every where, from the level of the sea, to the level of 2 500 and 2 800m above the sea level, specie like Trimerophorella nivicomes and Trimerophorella niger. Millipedes are strictly plant eaters. They thrive and breed under mulch, tree litter and bark gardens, and tend to spend the hotter months in these places. In the wild they eat rotting vegetation.
