Clarification: millipedes are typically poisonous (so don't eat them and wash hands after handling) while centipedes are venomous (a bite is a bad thing, and they will bite).

Its a centipede, centipedes have a single leg pair pwr a segment where millipedes have two leg pairs per a segment,and millipedes are not poisonous like centipedes!
