Earthworm is a classic example of terrestrial detritivores, but slugs, woodlice, dung flies, millipedes, and most of the worms are some of the other examples. Detritivores are recyclers of energy as they are being the food sources for the consumers such as carnivores. They recycle the energy mainly in forms of carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen. The decomposing biological matter is ingested into detritivores, digest inside their digestive system, and shed in simple forms.
