How is a millipede different from a centipede?
Millipedes are large, poisonous, and armored with a thick shell. They have dozens of legs as well. They usually are found in jungle environments. Centipedes are small, non-poisonous, and defend themselves with stinging/biting. They also have many legs, and are found under rocks, bricks, etc. like you would find worms or slugs. They are found everywhere that contains moderate temperatures (US region).
What is the name of a bug or insect that has about 40 legs?
You are probably referring to the millipede of which there are about 1000 different species. They are somewhat misnamed since they have anywhere from 36 to about 400 legs (depending on the species), but they sure look like they have a million. You might also be referring to the centipede which has 24 to about 200 legs, again depending on the species. You can easily tell the two apart by the fact that the millipede has a rounded body with two pairs of legs on each segment, whereas the centipede has a flattened body with a single pair of legs per segment - that is if you can get one to stay still long enough to tell.
