Silverfish are sometimes mistaken for centipedes, which do inflict painful bites. One way to tell the difference is to note how many legs the bug has. Upon close inspection of a silverfish, youâll see that it only has six legs. o Silverfish are small insects (between 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch) and have shimmering, silver-colored scales.
The word âmillipedeâ literally translates as âthousand legsâ in Latin. However, millipedes have far less than thousand legs. They have two pairs of legs per body segment except on the first 3 segments. The first segment lacks any legs, while the nest two have only one pair each. The large number of legs possessed by the millipede are useful for ploughing through litter. There are many different types of millipedes.
