Centipedes are flat, and, unlike Millipedes, have one pair of legs per segment. They are NOT part of the hexapod (insects, for all you uneducated people out there) class, but are Arachnids. Centipedes are also carnivores, eating their prey after swiftly injecting poison into it. Still, the main difference, is that centipedes are flat and have only one pair of legs per segment. It's not that much, try to remember it. =]
