Order Geophilomorpha, commonly known as earth centipedes, belong to the class of myriapods. These are elongated, multi-segmented invertebrates that inhabit the soil and leaf litter, and play a vital role in soil decomposition. Earth centipedes are the most diverse group of myriapods, with over 2,000 species worldwide. Synonyms for the Order Geophilomorpha are soil centipedes, ground centipedes, and wireworms. Though they are called centipedes, they are not true insects. These creatures have long, slender bodies, and their legs are arranged in pairs on each body segment. The name Geophilomorpha is derived from the Greek word geophilus, meaning "ground-loving," and the Latin morphē, which means "shape.".
