Centipedes and millipedes are both myriapods but differ in body shape, leg count, diet, and movement speed. Centipedes are fast predators with a flattened body and one pair of legs per segment, while millipedes are slower, with a rounded body and two pairs of legs per segment, primarily feeding on decomposing matter. Both thrive in moist environments like leaf litter.
