Where do I live? (regionally)
I can be found almost anywhere around the world, as long as my home is dark, warm, and damp. This is why I like to hide under decaying leaves and logs.
How do I breathe?
I have holes on the abdominal segments known as spiracles. These allow air to pass into my body.
What do I eat?
I love apples, bran, cereal, oatmeal, and other dried goods.
What do I drink?
I actually don't drink! I absorb from what I eat.
Habitat
I live in areas that provide easy access to food and a safe place to hide. You can typically find me under rocks and logs, in animal burrows, and in grains.
