How are a centipede and a millipede the same?

Answer 1

The class difference is the number of legs per body segment : a centipede has one pair of legs to each segment, while a millipede has two pairs.

However, the two classes are very dissimilar and mostly look nothing alike.

Centipedes (class Chilopoda) have flattened bodies and longer antennae for their size.

Millipedes (class Diplopoda) have long, taller, semi-cylindrical bodies.

Answer 2

Centipedes and millipedes are both arthropods belonging to the class Myriapoda. They have elongated bodies with numerous pairs of legs, though centipedes have one pair of legs per body segment while millipedes have two pairs. Both are predominantly scavengers that play important roles in decomposition processes in ecosystems.

Answer 3

They both have many sets of legs, but that's about it.

Answer 4

the male is biger than the female centipede
