They've got legs.
All myriapods are terrestrial forms.
Like insects and other uniramian arthropods, myriapods have appendages with only one branch, or ramus . Most myriapods live in humid environments, and can be found in soils, in leaf litters, or under stones and wood. Many species possess repugnatorial glands , specialized glands that secrete foul-tasing compunds and thus function in defense. The Chilopoda includes the true centipedes, like the one shown at the top left of this page. Chilopods have only one pair of legs per body segment.
