Millipedes
 

Are these ugly creatures beneficial or harmful in the garden? I have
unearthed a lot of them this season, at first quick glance I thought they
were an earthworm what a horrible surprise.

YUCK!

They usually will just be there, help breaking down
organic material but at times will damage plants with
tender stems and I have had them do slight damage to
squash fruit before. Biggest problem you might have is
if they go on a mass migration in the Fall getting into
the house as a nuisance.

God forbid that should happen they are the only thing in the garden that
makes me scream.

Then you would really hate the ones in I used to find in
South Texas that would get up to seven inches long.
