The word 'millipede' means a thousand legs, where as 'centipede' means a hundred legs. Also, the millipede is poisonous (don't eat it) and some species are toxic (don't touch it). The centipede is venomous (don't let it bite you). Each millipede's segments are connected to two pairs of legs and the centipede only has one pair for each segment. millipedes may have more legs but the centipede is usually longer and flatter as the millipede is very round
