BIOLOGY | |
| Food | |
| Most are omnivorous and will feed on most anything organic. Many (if not most) will catch and eat other smaller animals when they can. In houses may chew on paper products, occasionally fabric. | |
| Habitat | |
| Most favor cool damp places - caves, rotten logs, under leaves or rocks. Will not reproduce indoors unless they find continuous dark, moist conditions. Species living in perpetual darkness, as deep in caves, may have eyes reduced or missing, and often have long slender limbs. | |
| Distribution | |
| The family Rhaphidophoridae, to which the Rhaphidophorinae belong, are distributed worldwide. | |
