Despite their name, which stems from the Latin words 'centum' (meaning 'hundred') and 'ped' (meaning 'foot'), they normally have around half that number of legs, though it is possible to find centipedes with over 200 legs.

It actually depends on the size of the centipede. Each centipede regardless of size, have 1 pair of legs on each body segment. For example, 5 body segments each 5 pair of legs or 10 legs.
