Millipedes are a combination of two Latin terms that form the word thousand foot. These arthropods usually contain over a hundred legs but can feature just 40 or 50 legs.
Here are some 'milli' words: Millipede Million Milligram Millimeter Millibar Millisecond Milliliters
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)
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.
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.
No, but sometimes "average" means "mean" - when it doesn't mean median, geometric mean, or something else entirely.

No. A millipede is a myriapod, which is a kind of arthropod.
A millipede is a small invertebrate belonging to the Phylum Arthropoda.Unlike its name seems to suggest, the millipede does not have one million legs.I tried counting the legs on a millipede, but it wouldn't stay still long enough. My cat was fascinated as it sat in the garden watching a millipede. The millipede tickled as it crawled over my foot.
Since millipede is a noun, the only opposite for millipede is "not millipede". Since a millipede has a maximum number of "legs" an antonym might be "snake" with no legs.
The millipede genus name is Diplopoda.
No the Millipede Feeds On Small Insects (carnavorous)
