1 A detritivore such as the millipede is an herbivore that eats decaying plant material. 2  Millipedes have four legs per body segment; centipedes have two.  Millipedes are slow-moving herbivores. Centipedes are fast-moving carnivores; they're often brightly colored to warn predators of their venom.
In general, millipedes are harmless, unlike their centipede counterparts, many of which can bite and sting. All millipedes, when disturbed, can emit a foul liquid that has the potential to irritate sensitive skin.The chemical emission can also become more serious if it reaches a human mouth or eyes.hese small worms are most likely millipedes, characterized by their common defense action: curling into a circle.
