Answer 4

That would probably be a millipede.  They can bite and make you really sick so kill it.

Answer 5

A Centipede has one pair of legs per body segment.  A Millipede has two pairs of legs per body segment.

Centipedes range in size from extremely small to quit large up to 6" or more.  And, some can have a very bad bite.

To my knowledge, Millipedes, on the other hand are harmless and some are even kept as pets.  They can get large too.
