Centipedes have one pair of legs to each segment. Millipedes have two.
Centipedes are fast-moving and are usually predators. They have one pair of legs on each body segment. Millipedes are slow-moving detritus eaters. They have two pairs of legs on each body segment.
15
15 body segments.
In centipedes, there is one pair of legs in each body segments. In millipedes, there are 2 pairs of legs in each segment. Centipedes are carnivores with poisons bites. Millipedes are detrivores that release toxic chemicals.
Millipedes have two pairs of legs per body segment.
Despite the fact that the name "centipede" means 100 legs and "millipede" means 100 legs, centipedes do not have 100 legs and millipedes do not have 1000 legs. It has been found that no species of millipede has more than 400 legs.One of the main differences between centipedes and millipedes is that centipedes have one pair (i.e.two legs) on each segment and millipedes have two pairs (i.e. four legs) on most segments. Centipedes move more quickly than millipedes.Centipedes are also more flexible, with a more flattened body than millipedes, which have a more cylindrical body. Centipedes tend to prefer dryer, more arid environments, while millipedes prefer moist deciduous forests.
What is Myriapods=animals with many legs,belong to the fourth group of arthropods that includes the millipedes and the centipede. These arthropods have many body segments. A millipede has four legs on each segment while a centipede has two legs on each segment. Millipedes eat plants. Centipedes have claws with poison glands. They eat insects and earthworms. Millipedes are also called diplopods while centipedes are akso called chilopods.

Yes, they are both arthropods. Their main differences are that millipedes have two pairs of 'legs' per body segment and are not poisonous. Centipedes have only one pair per segment and they can be poisonous.
Centipedes talk to each other by using their ultra sensitive antennae to pass messages back and forth. They also release chemicals to communicate.
Both centipedes and millipedes breathe via tiny holes called 'spiracles'. These spiracles a openings on te skin which lead to a respiratory system. Millipedes have two pairs of spiracles on each body segment, while in centipedes the number varies: not all body segments necessarily have spiracles, while others might have a pair.
