Detritivores

Detritivores (also known as saprophages, detrivores or detritus feeders) are organisms that recycle detritus (decomposing organic material), returning it into the food chain. Earthworms are a well-known example of detritus feeders, eating rotting plant leaves and other debris. Groups of detritivorous animals include: millipedes, woodlice, dung beetles, dung flies and burying beetles
