- 簡介: 磚紅厚甲馬陸Trigoniulus corallinus是中部地區(甚至全台各地)最常見的中、大型馬陸之一，身體為磚紅色，兩側各有一列淡黑色的斑帶，成體體長約5公分左右，清晨或黃昏時在植物公園的落葉堆或石塊堆成的花圃邊緣矮牆上常可發現，也常可看到正在橫越石板路的個體。由於體型較大，容易被一般民眾看到，因此在早晨常可見到被人踩扁的磚紅厚甲馬陸屍體，大家實在不必如此驚慌去除牠們，牠們其實是幫忙分解落葉，變成植物可用的有機泥土的益蟲呢！磚紅厚甲馬陸的生殖季節大概在夏季左右，七、八月時，早晨或黃昏都可以在植物公園裡較陰暗的石塊上或石牆邊，發現牠們正在交配。本種雖然常見，但在台灣直到2004年才被Dr. Zoltan Korsos紀錄發表。Trigoniulus corallinusDiplopodaSpirobolidaTrigoniulinaeThe Rusty Millipede (Trignoiulus corallinus) is a medium to large-sized millipede commonly found in central Taiwan (and in other areas as well). The body is brick red in color with pale black bands on the sides. The adult grows up to 5cm in length and can often be found in dead leaves and low rock walls around the botanical garden at dawn or in the evening. Individuals are also frequently sighted crossing paved paths. Their relatively large size means they are easy to see so squashed Rusty Millipedes are a common sight in the morning. The Rusty Millipede however is quite harmless and is in fact a beneficial insect that helps break down dead leaves into organic soil for plants. The Rusty Millipede usually breeds in summer around July and August. During this time, they can often be found mating in shady areas near rocks or stone walls at dawn or in the evening. Though not rare, the species was only formally recorded and classified in Taiwan by Dr. Zoltan Korsos in 2004.
