How is a millipede different from a centipede?

Answer 1

Millipedes are large, poisonous, and armored with a thick shell. They have dozens of legs as well. They usually are found in jungle environments.

Centipedes are small, non-poisonous, and defend themselves with stinging/biting. They also have many legs, and are found under rocks, bricks, etc. like you would find worms or slugs. They are found everywhere that contains moderate temperatures (US region).

Answer 2

If you can get a centipede to stop moving, it has a countable amount of legs and segments--Usually around 30 legs with a reasonable length. You'll also be pretty freaked out if you see one. But Millipedes have, like, 500 tiny legs. They've got so many legs they have to keep their legs in a formation. Millipedes also don't have visible antannea.

Answer 3

a millipede has a thousand legs and a centipede has one hundred legs.

Answer 4

Centipedes have one pair of legs per segment, a millipede have two pairs of legs per segment. Centipedes move quickly and millipedes move slowly.
