Wow! a monster of a millipede! (I think)... Can't think what else it could be, Bashtoven. I hope it doesn't bite! lol

Woah there, Bashtoven! This guy is no pest - he is a very beneficial little beastie! He is in fact a centipede and he eats creatures that live in the soil (not plants) and gobbles up all sorts of things that might harm your plants. Now, go out into your garden and APOLOGISE to him for calling him a pest! ;-)

So what's the difference between a millipede and a centipede please?

Erm.......don't know, Hang on, let's consult Collins book of British Wildlife......................................ah here it is...well, apparently, millipedes have two pairs of legs per segment, while centipedes have only one pair of legs per segment. Well, now we know! :-)

Errrr...do I understand the difference from that explanation? Errrr...no. Thanks for reading your useful book, though! It is bedtime, maybe my brain has seized up...
