{{wp|Centipede}}s and {{wp|millipede}}s are misunderstood creatures, and I think the first problem is right there in their names. They come from the Latin for "one hundred feet" and "one thousand feet" respectively, but as you may well be aware, this is misleading. The number of legs on a centipede can be anything between thirty and over three hundred, while for millipedes the number varies between thirty six and seven hundred and fifty. So while it’s true that, on average, millipede species have more legs than centipede species, we can see that this isn’t always the case. | {{wp|Centipede}}s and {{wp|millipede}}s are misunderstood creatures, and I think the first problem is right there in their names.
