Centipedes and millipedes are some of the most ancient terrestrial animals, and their prevalence even in the modern world is testament to their success. Given their passing resemblances, and the fact that they often share the same habitats, the two groups are often mixed up.
In this video, we'll be taking a deep dive into the difference between centipedes and millipedes, discussing their physical features, behaviour, and life cycle.

Great video! Millipedes are honestly quite cute, I wish we had bigger ones here. Also, thank you for pointing out one of the issues with the "oxygen = big bug" theory, few tend to look past that paradigm. :)

@BugsandBiology 7 месяцев назад

The oxygen/big bug idea doesn’t annoy me anywhere near as much as oxygen = big dinosaurs. But yeah, I won’t pretend I didn’t appreciate the brief opportunity to discuss that topic. I’m likely to talk about Arthropleura much more extensively in future uploads.

In all honesty I came to this expecting information I already knew but was pleasantly surprised as I learned so much just from this one video, your channel has been the number one reason I’ve become fascinated with centipedes, for most of my life I’ve been terrified of them, but you’ve single-handedly changed that, and I appreciate it :)

@BugsandBiology 7 месяцев назад

That’s one of my main goals when covering topics that have been discussed many times before by other channels. Delivering information that’s more in-depth so that people who are really interested can delve a little deeper.

@PrisPrivate 7 месяцев назад

@@BugsandBiologySorry I only just noticed your reply, that’s totally awesome and rlly sets you apart from ppl who rather approach it from an angle of teaching those who know nothing about the subject at hand (tho that approach is also cool just far more common). Keep up the awesome content man 🤘

@realityisascam 18 дней назад

This is hands down the best channel on youtube. I found you two days ago and I've been consuming your content like crack; it's so refreshing to see someone who knows what they're talking about, and focuses heavily on centipedes.

Millipede and Centipede be gangster until the Kilopede crawls in.

@bugsmetropolis 7 месяцев назад

Brilliant video! I recently lost my last centipede but I’ll be sure to get back into centipedes. Millipedes are also one of my favourites! I just have so many stick insects and praying mantids at the moment! 😂

@BugsandBiology 7 месяцев назад

I used to be into stick insects, but having to constantly go out and gather fresh leaves doesn’t go well with my lifestyle. Plus they can quickly become overwhelming once they’ve bred a bit.

Millipedes: Lovely little myriapods that look like adorable long isopod slinkies.

@DJLucas-xv7oe 7 месяцев назад

The female centipede has shorter terminal legs right?

@BugsandBiology 7 месяцев назад

Not really. With few exceptions, male and female centipedes are very hard to tell apart visually.

@thezanzibarbarian5729 7 месяцев назад

In Zanzibar, we used to have lovely big millipedes that were nicknamed _Tanganyika Trains (Tanganyika being the old name for Tanzania before it and Zanzibar united in 1964.)._ Some were nearing 6 or 7" or so in length. Even as a little kid, I'd gleefully pick them up and watch them _"Choo! Choo!"_ their way over my hands and arms. There were also quite large centipedes too. Some 5 or 6" in length. They were fast moving and always seemed to be wanting to get somewhere ASAP. _Unsurprisingly, I wasn't allowed to pick them up and for good reason._ When they bit, you knew they'd bitten you!_

@cynicallemonade1792 5 месяцев назад

Im getting my first centerpede next week. Rhysida nuda. I'm so excited because I think they are so pretty and cute. But all the care videos I look up just talk about how hard it is to stop them escaping etc. Now I'm nervous that my enclosure won't be adequate. Going to go buy something new before it gets here and get it ready. It's supposed to be about 5cm and I'm not too sure how much space they need as I can't find a proper answer but I'm going to try to at least make sure what I get is deep enough! I'm still really excited though, even if the videos I've watched have put some fear in me lol.

@DJLucas-xv7oe 7 месяцев назад

Ahh, subphylum myriapoda

@DJLucas-xv7oe 7 месяцев назад

I never understand why people confused the centipede's forcioules as fangs. And despite still being a fan, that of course includes Coyote Peterson.

@snoutysnouterson 7 месяцев назад

Spiders fangs are also evolved from legs

@DJLucas-xv7oe 7 месяцев назад

@@snoutysnouterson really? Or maybe you confused it as the evolution of pedipalps? If it's true, what if our mouths evolve from legs.

@BugsandBiology 7 месяцев назад

Correct about spider fangs. The main difference is, centipede forcipules aren’t even attached to the head, let alone the mouth.

If i were about to embark upon a quest w some elves and dwarves, i would hope its to the same soundtrack u use. Its awesome

@BugsandBiology 7 месяцев назад

I very briefly had a Minecraft channel where I’d post gameplay of the Lord of the Rings mod, using this music (fitting for a LoTR themed game of course). And I figured I might as well use it for this channel as well, even if it’s a little unorthodox.

@johannageisel5390 6 месяцев назад

It throws me for a loop, because there is at least one historic costuming channel (I think Opus Elenae) who also uses this background music.

@DJLucas-xv7oe 7 месяцев назад

Man, I wish I had a pet centipede.

@PhillipWhite-uz3wu 7 месяцев назад

Careful what you wish for. I had one and he was problematical to say the least. Always escaping, and nearly getting hold of me several times,

@DJLucas-xv7oe 7 месяцев назад

@@PhillipWhite-uz3wu don't worry, I have a pet tarantula. She hasn't escaped once. But, well, centipedes are harder to keep so I'm careful.

@BugsandBiology 7 месяцев назад

I’ve never really had issues. Just a simple clip-locking plastic container works fine for them.

@drhexagonapus 7 месяцев назад

@@PhillipWhite-uz3wu you probably had the wrong kind of enclosure if it was escaping that often. They really aren't that hard to contain but you just need something with a secure lid, I've got a couple and they don't give me any trouble.

@DJLucas-xv7oe 7 месяцев назад

One time, I got a not perfect sized Asian forest scorpion for my little cousin's birthday. He unfortunately escaped when my uncle and auntie changed him in the container he came from because they think he doesn't like the bugger enclosure.

@ThePollaton 7 месяцев назад

I started watching this…then scooted off immediately to find out the largest of each of the aforementioned creatures. I have now discovered the south American centipede that can grow over a foot long. I’m afraid that has slightly terrified me. The foot long millipedes are just cute 😂😂

@imwaytogoodlookingtobeyour1188 3 месяца назад

Are millipedes and centipedes convergent evolution or are they related and can they breed and make hybrids

@BugsandBiology 3 месяца назад

They’re distant relatives, but nowhere near close enough to be capable of hybridisation.

@imwaytogoodlookingtobeyour1188 3 месяца назад

@BugsandBiology oh ok...let's say a millipede and centipede come in contact to eachother do you think they will know they are different or the same type

@BugsandBiology 3 месяца назад

They will know they’re different. Some centipedes prey on millipedes.

@alexboyd5471 7 месяцев назад

these guys are my favorite!! i'd love some pet millipedes one day, i find them so charming

@willmatos3787 6 месяцев назад

Can centipedes grow back thier terminal legs?

@BugsandBiology 6 месяцев назад

Yes, though it may take a couple molts for them to regrow completely.

@keiisakuraii7414 4 дня назад

i honestly only know the difference of them because of that one episode of family guy LMAO

@insectilluminatigetshrekt5574 7 месяцев назад

I dont think an Arthropleura sized centipede could exist tbh. Their bodies are much softer and their weight less evenly distributed than millipedes. Also being a fast running predator would be a lot more straining at that size than being a sluggish herbivore.

@BugsandBiology 7 месяцев назад

True, especially the last point. They’d lose most of their major mobility advantages if scaled up to that size.

@insectilluminatigetshrekt5574 7 месяцев назад

@@BugsandBiology I think the absolute largest a centipede could evolve to be while still be recognizably a centipede is perhaps 2 feet long.

@johannageisel5390 6 месяцев назад

I want to have a pet arthropleura that I can walk on a leash.
