Centipedes and millipedes are in the same phylum but in different classes.
Millipedes and centipedes are in the class Myriapoda, meaning, 'two legs per segment.'
If you ever saw a little insect curled up into a ball and thought it was a centipede, you were wrong.
Millipedes are herbivores, are twice as fast as a caterpillar, and have two defense mechanisms. Millipedes have stink glands,and can curl up into a ball.
Centipedes, however, are carnivores, are very, very fast, and is poisonous.
To tell centipedes and millipedes apart, is really quite easy. Centipedes has it's legs spread out wide. Centipedes are really quite scary looking. Millipedes, however, has it's legs neatly underneath it's body. Centipedes have very few legs, why, you could count them. Millipedes have lots of legs. You wouldn't be able to count them unless you got up close which I would not do.
