Most millipedes are found in cool, moist environments and many species are common under rocks and logs,
in leaf litter and soil and under the bark of trees.
The black Portuguese millipede Ommatoiulus moreleti , is an introduced species which has rapidly gained a reputation for being a nuisance pest in most areas where it occurs.
This species often reaches plague numbers especially in southern Australia. In these instances it often invades houses and other dwellings where it contaminates food and infests carpet and bedding. It may also destroy fruit and vegetable crops.
Like other species of Julid millipedes the black Portuguese millipede discharges a yellowish liquid when disturbed to discourage predators. Although not dangerous to humans this fluid can stain skin and material.
