Answer by  Kaleigh (20)

Millipedes and centipedes are both insects which appear and move in a worm-like fashion. The garden variety of centipede has fifteen pairs of legs. Millipedes have even more legs. They can possess up to 130 pairs of legs which adds up to 250 legs in all.

Technically, no "bug" has more than six legs. You are probably seeing millipedes or centipedes. Rolly pollys or pill bugs are another possibility. Depending on your situation, you might be seeing caterpillars which have leg like extensions of their abdomen. We really need more information to say for sure.

Millipeds are dark brown worm like bugs with many tiny legs. They have a curved roundish body. Another worm like insect is a centeped, though these ones are a bit flatter and less worm like.

The best known kinds of bugs with many legs are centipedes and millipedes. The former may have dozens of legs, and the latter may have hundreds. (Both names are slightly off- centipedes don't have 100 legs and millipedes don't have a thousand. )
