the obvious difference is that centipedes have only one pair of legs per body segment millipedes typically have more

Centipedes eat slug eggs they’re a really beneficial insect to have about,Ive never been bitten by one but when I find them I put them back in the compost to work. (I usually find them when I’m moving old compost about from pots & bags,where slugs lay eggs isn’t it,they’re a great help).

Centipedes remind me of my springer, they go mental when disturbed and this always makes me smile.

centipede bite
A centipede bite can vary from hardly visible to exceptionally painful. Lots of people Examine it to sensation just like a bee sting. Except if you might be allergic for the venom or are in extremely inadequate well being, a centipede bite isn’t significantly dangerous

Not all beetles are goodies, you would not want colerado or lilly beetles.

Millipedes tend to be black (and they curl up when disturbed). Centipedes are more of a chestnut brown (and run off PDQ when disturbed).

Centipedes tend to be flatter and millipedes more tube shaped.

Can you remind me of the basic difference between centipede and millipede? (other than number of legs)
Mine were black, with a lot of legs!
