Examples of Detritivores🧵: Image
1. Earthworms: These are soil-dwelling organisms that consume decaying organic matter, and excrete nutrient-rich castings that are beneficial for soil fertility.
2. Woodlice: Also known as pill bugs or roly-polies, these are small crustaceans that live in damp environments such as leaf litter or decaying wood, and feed on dead plant material.
3. Dung beetles: These are beetles that feed on animal dung, and help to break it down and recycle nutrients back into the ecosystem.
4. Millipedes: These are elongated arthropods that feed on decaying plant material and contribute to nutrient cycling in soil.
5. Maggots: These are the larvae of flies, which feed on decaying organic matter such as dead animals or rotting food.
Detritivores play an important role in the ecosystem by recycling nutrients and breaking down organic matter, which contributes to soil fertility and supports the growth of other organisms.
