Millepede is a name common to animals resembling centipedes; of the order Myriapoda, from the number of their feet. The most common is the lulus sabulosus, about 32 mm long. The young when hatched have only three pairs of legs, the remainder being gradually acquired until the number is complete, which is usually about 120 pairs.
