The millipede is an arthropod and it typically has between 30 and 400 legs, depending on the species. 

However, despite its name, the millipede does not actually have a thousand legs.

Millipedes typically have many legs, as their name suggests. While the number can vary between species, they generally have anywhere from 30 to 400 legs. Each body segment typically has two pairs of legs, although this can vary. Despite their name, which means "thousand legs," millipedes do not actually have a thousand legs, but they do have significantly more legs than centipedes.

Their legs are tucked under the body and difficult to see. The number of body segments varies with the species (estimated in the range of 10,000 species), but the number of pairs of legs generally ranges between 40 and 400. The females of a nearly extinct species of California millipede have up to 750 legs.

Millipedes can have hundreds or even thousands of legs, despite their name, which means "thousand legs." The exact number varies by species.

millipede does not have  thousand legs unlike its name which was given due to the fact that it looked like it had a million legs but in reality it has only 40 to 100 legs
