Default Millipedes nightmare

"GrlIntrpted" wrote in message t...
I'm having a millipede problem. Primarily in my paphs. I recently noticed
that the new leaves and new fans simply stopped in their tracks. It started
with the St. Swithin, which was finally growing a new leaf. Then the Paph
Pinocchio, and at least 8 more paphs (I'm too lazy to got get the tags).
When I started digging into the mix (which is fairly fresh as I repotted
them all in the late spring of 2003) I noticed a millipede lazin' about! I
crushed it and instantaneously (in quite a panic as I know they feed on
roots when food supplies are short)...


Was it a millipede or a pillbug?

Millipedes are predators, AFAIK
