Creepy Crawlers

Millipedes live in dark, moist places, such as basements and under logs, but lately I've found several millipedes in Joyce Road and our driveway.



Millipedes are arthropods characterized by having two pairs of jointed legs on most body segments, except for first three segments, whereas centipedes have one pair of legs per body segment. Each double-legged segment of a millipede is a result of two single segments fused together as one. This millipede is missing some of its fronts legs, but it has extra legs that can fill in.
