Bumblebee Millepede (Anadenobolus monilicornis)

Bring bold color and calm personality to your collection with the Bumblebee Millipede. Known for its striking dark body with yellow banding, this species is a favorite among both beginner and experienced invertebrate keepers. Active, hardy, and easy to care for, they make an excellent addition to any bioactive setup or invertebrate display.

Bumblebee millipedes are detritivores, meaning they play an important role in breaking down decaying organic matter. In captivity, they thrive in a deep, moisture-retaining substrate rich in leaf litter and rotting hardwood. They are gentle, slow-moving, and safe to handle, though like most millipedes, they may secrete a mild defensive fluid if disturbed.

This species typically reaches around 3–4 inches in length and does well at room temperature with moderate to high humidity. Their low-maintenance care and unique appearance make them a great choice for anyone looking to get into millipede keeping.

Each individual is healthy and well-started, ready to thrive in a properly set up enclosure.
