Original Answer: "No, and i hope your joking. Millipedes live under decaying leaves, not underwater."
- The above is actually a fair question sir; millipedes are crustaceans, just like woodlice, shrimp, crabs and lobsters, and the latter 3 all breathe through gills - even though many woodlouse species are become completely terrestrial. Gills are not exclusive to marine animals.
Millipedes are different though, in that they breathe through spiracles (holes alongside their body) which absorb oxygen and carry it to their tracheal tubes, which then supply it to their various tissues.
So the answer is indeed, no - but it is still a fair inquiry. :)
(I must have the original answer :D)
