Orthoporus ornatus

''Orthoporus ornatus'' (also known as the desert millipede) is a North American species of millipede in the family Spirostreptidae that can be found in the U.S. states of Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, and as far south as the Mexican state of San Luis Potosí.〔Hoffman, R. L. 1999. "Checklist of the Millipeds of North and Middle America". ''Virginia Museum of Natural History Special Publications'', 8, p. 125-126.〕 Individuals on average are in length,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Description of dead ''Orthoporus ornatus'' )〕 but can either be as small as ,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Desert millipede size )〕 or exceed up to in length. They are dark brownish coloured,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Deseret Millipede (Orthoporus ornatus) )〕 but can sometimes be yellow. In fact, in every state the species look different. The antennae are located near the organs of Tömösváry. The species feed on both living and dead organic material. The species prefer sunshine, but can be seen on summer rainy days as well. A disturbed ''Orthoporus ornatus'' may curl into a coil and release a toxic substance that is located on all sides of its body. The species can live more than 10 years. The species feed on shrubs of ''Ephedra'', which grows in Jornada del Muerto, and on ''Salsola'' that grows in Albuquerque.
==Classification==
The class of this organism is Diplopoda, a diverse group of arthropods.〔("Desert Millipede (Orthoporus Ornatus)" ). ''Arizona Wildlife''. 10 Aug. 2008. Accessed 18 Dec. 2014.〕 An arthropod can be referred to as an invertebrate that has an exoskeleton, a segmented body and jointed appendages. It can also be put into a group called edaphic organisms since it spends most of its time in the soil.〔Vilani, M. G., L. L. Allee, A. Diaz, and P. S. Robbins. "Adaptive Strategies of Edahic Arthropods." Proquest. ''Annual Review of Entomology'', 1 Jan. 1999. Web. 18 Dec. 2014.〕 Edaphic means pertaining to the soil.
