Millipedes

Millipedes can easily be distinguished from Centipedes by counting the number of legs arising from most body segments. Millipedes have two pair per segment, and centipedes only have one pair. Centipedes are generally flattened and have a pair of well-developed antennae on the head. Some centipedes have long legs and are capable of running rapidly. Millipede bodies are rounded or somewhat flattened. Legs are short and movement is slow, with movement of legs appearing wave-like.
