Facts on Millipedes

 

The African Giant Black Millipede can grow to 38.6cm (15.2 in)

Millipedes never have a thousand legs. They can have from a few dozen to several hundred, but not a thousand.

Most millipedes are brown or black, and can range in size between 5/8 of an inch and 4-inches in length.

Millipedes do not have a poisonous bite, but many protect themselves by offensive odors produced by stink glands; some produce highly irritating compounds that can injure the skin or eyes of attackers; and some can roll up into a ball or spiral for protection.
