Symphyla, also known as garden centipedes or pseudocentipedes, are small, soil-dwelling arthropods that belong to the class Symphyla. They have a segmented body and numerous pairs of legs, typically ranging from 10 to 30 pairs. Symphyla are considered ancient relatives of centipedes and millipedes. They are typically found in moist soil habitats, feeding on decaying organic matter and plant roots. Symphyla play a role in soil ecosystem processes but can also be considered pests in some agricultural systems due to their feeding on plant roots.
