Noonut I seen a centipede afore, arrr,
I'll tell SWMBO..
Good grief, didn't you look under stones or disturb piles of stuff when building dens in the woods as a lad?
Even though that's quite a long example it's tiddly compared to the one as saw on wooded path in Malaysia. That one was about and inch across the legs and over 6" long, I took a photo but otherwise kept clear. Summat that size could give quite a bite and many are venomous...
It's a millipede, I've thousands of the bastards in my garden
No it's not it's a centipede. Millipedes have a different body structure and legs more underneath.
Oddly enough if you count the legs it seems to have exactly 100!
I thought the WP article said they always had an odd number of pairs of legs?
maybe it was 98.
My memory says to me the difference is that centipedes have two legs per segment, and millipedes have 4.

I think I found that as well somewhere.
