How many legs does half of a centipede have?
If you just look at the prefix on the name. 'Centi' translates to mean 100 and milli translates to mean 1000. However, most of either species don't have as many legs as their name implies. Although some species of centipede do indeed have 100 legs it can vary from less than 100 to 200. Therefore it is more correct to say that a centipede can have 100 legs rather than it does have this many. Yes, centipede really does mean "100-footed," and yes, some centipedes actually do have 100 feet, but no, not all do. In fact, some centipedes have more than 100 feet, and some have as few as 30. Perhaps, mathematicians , not scientists, should have done the calculations, and should have named this member of the species "Myriapoda," Latin for many footed. Likewise, a millipede likely doesn't have 1,000 feet, as it's name implies.

How many legs do centipedes?
The centipede is named by the number of legs it possesses. If you ever forget and ask yourself "how many legs does a centipede have?" just look at the prefix on the name. 'Cent' translates to mean 100 and there is your answer. Although some species of centipede do indeed have 100 legs it can vary from less than 100 to 200. Therefore it is more correct to say that a centipede can have 100 legs rather than it does have this many. While the word centipede literally means "100-footed," most centipedes do not have 100 legs. The number of legs a centipede has depends upon the number of body segments that make up its body and these numbers vary by species. Centipedes have one pair of legs per segment, with two pairs on each of the last two segments. A fully equipped adult centipede can have between 15 and 177 pairs of legs. Members of the Orders Lithobiomorpha and Scutigeromorpha have 15 pairs of legs. Unlike other centipede species, the Scutigera have long, multi-articulate, hairy legs, which enable them to establish a solid grip on the ground and move very quickly. However, Scutigera centipedes are not capable of pushing themselves through soil or into detritus. The house centipede has a rounded trunk with long, delicate legs, while the Geophilomorphs have long, slender bodies with up to 177 pairs of short legs. The colorful Scolopendromorphs have from 21 to 23 pairs of legs. The body segment behind the centipede's head contains two legs, which have been modified into venomous fangs for hunting prey. To aid in balance and agility, the legs of most centipede species become progressively longer the further away they are from the head. The last pair of legs trails behind the centipede's body and is equipped with sensory bristles. These legs act as a supplementary pair of antennae, allowing centipedes to back out of tight spaces. Centipedes are capable of dropping their legs when their survival depends upon it and can regenerate these body parts after shedding them.
