How many leg's dose a milliapede have?

A millipede typically has between 34 and 400 legs, depending on the species. Some larger millipedes can even have over 750 legs. They have two pairs of legs per body segment, which contributes to their numerous legs. The exact number can vary widely among different millipede species.


What does milli' mean?

a thousandth The metric prefix "milli" means one-thousandth. So 1000 millimeters is equal to 1 meter. 1 millimeter is equal to 1/1000 of a meter. It can also refer to 1000, usually when applied to arthropods: a millipede is so named because it appears to have a thousand legs (although in reality the number is far lower)


Can a 1000 legger kill or harm you?

A "1000 legger" is likely a reference to a millipede, which can have up to 750 legs, not 1000. Millipedes are not harmful to humans and do not pose a threat. They are generally considered beneficial to the environment as they help with decomposition. In rare cases, millipedes may release a defensive fluid that can irritate the skin or eyes, but this is not considered dangerous.


What has twenty legs?

A creature with twenty legs could refer to a species of millipede or centipede, as both have numerous legs. Millipedes typically have two pairs of legs per body segment, resulting in a high leg count, while centipedes have one pair of legs per segment. However, specific species may vary, and some may have around twenty legs depending on their developmental stage.
