NO! Millipedes are not dangerous. They are small but have many legs. Centipedes are dangerous, so don't freak out over millipedes. I should know cause millipedes are always in my house so I researched them.
centipedes- 700-950 legs millipedes- 350,000-700,000 legs
its just because they were just made that way!
Millipedes have two pairs of legs per body section, which means they have four legs on each segment of their body. This distinguishes them from centipedes, which have only one pair of legs per body segment.
No, despite the name difference, centipedes do not have more legs than millipedes. Centipedes typically have one pair of legs per body segment, while millipedes have two pairs per segment, resulting in millipedes having more legs overall.
Millipedes have around 300 legs
Millipedes are arthropods. It is a common belief that millipedes have one thousand legs, as their name implies, yet no millipede with 1000 legs has ever been discovered. The movement made by the millipedes' legs is generally described as wave-like.
Insects (everything with six legs), arachnids (eight legs), crustaceans (ten legs), and centi/millipedes (many legs). ^^
Millipede means "thousand feet," but millipedes actually have between 50 and 150 pairs of legs.
Yes, millipedes have an exoskeleton made of chitin to protect their bodies. This hard outer layer provides support and protection for their soft internal tissues.
The millipedes do not have wings but actually have approximately 400 pair of legs . They have so many that they appear as having a "thousand" legs . The word 'millipede' is a compound word : 'milli' = thousand and 'Ped" = foot .
Yes they have 750 legs
