Subphylum Myriapoda
Class Chilopoda:
	Venomous/non venomous? 
	How many pairs of legs per segment? 
	What do they eat?
Flat or rounded body? 
Describe the last pair of legs.
A 
Venomous 
1 per segment (pair per segment)
are carnivorous and prey upon soft-bodied insects, spiders, worms and other arthropods
Flat 
Use to look like antenna for escape

Nonvenomous
Each segment is actually two fused segments with two pairs of legs (2 per segment)
Rounded body
Eats dead stuff or plants
Protection Roll into ball Produce defensive secretions that make it taste bad. Chemicals secrete.
