Mr. Millipede

This here is a millipede, perhaps of the class Diploda. Gracie (our kitten), already earning her keep, found this dude crawling on the living room rug just the other day. We're guessing it hitched a ride in the house on one of the house plants that reside our doors during the summer months.

Millipedes have two pairs of legs per segment. Centipedes have only one pair of legs per segment - similar jut different.
