Book 24, Question 35

How are millipedes different from centipedes?

Millipedes have two pairs of legs on almost every body segment and move slowly. They eat rotting leaves and curl up when disturbed. Centipedes have only one pair of legs per segment and run fast. They hunt small prey like insects, using a pair of fangs.
