The primary classification difference is that centipedes (class Chilopoda) have one pair of legs per body segment, while millipedes (class Diplopoda) have two pair per segment. The differing names suggest different numbers of legs, but both have many, both classes being in the subphylum Myriapoda.
Millipedes ("thousand feet") have a striking difference in body type from centipedes ("hundred feet"). Millipedes are semi-cylindrical and taller, while centipedes tend to be flatter, with longer antennae.
Centipedes are carnivorous and venomous, while most millipedes are not.
No centipede species has exactly 100 legs, They have an odd number of pairs, totaling between 30 and 354 legs.
No millipede species has 1000 legs. Species can have as few as 44 or as many as 750.
