Pauropods
Pauropods are small, soft-bodied arthropods belonging to the class Pauropoda. They typically measure between 0.5 to 2 millimeters in length and have a segmented body with 12 to 20 pairs of legs. Pauropods are usually found in moist environments, such as leaf litter and soil, where they play a role in decomposing organic matter.
These creatures are often mistaken for millipedes or centipedes due to their similar appearance. Pauropods have a unique feature: they possess a pair of antennae and lack eyes. They primarily feed on decaying plant material and fungi, contributing to nutrient cycling in their ecosystems.
