Answer: Although their name suggests they have myriad (10,000) legs, myriapods range from having up to 750 legs (the millipede Illacme plenipes) to having fewer than ten legs.
Explanation: Like insects, myriapods have one pair of antennae, but they have many more legs than insects do. In Michigan, all myriapods have more than 20 legs, and all the other arthropods have fewer legs than that (most have only 6 or 8 legs). Millipedes usually have round bodies, and have two pairs of legs on each body segment.
