Giant Millipede close up HD 720p video in the wild forest see the mating and their wave like motion video.

Millipedes range from 2 to 280 millimetres (0.079 to 11 in) in length, and can have as few as eleven, to over a hundred segments. They are generally black or brown in colour, although there are a few brightly coloured species.

The millipede has less than 300 legs, with the leg count varying from species to species. The Giant Millipede can get up to ten inches in length, and 400 legs. That said the longest on record was said to be 15 inches, and incredibly rare species Illacme plenipes can have 750 legs.

In video you can see the mating of two adult Millipedes. Their sexual organs are located just below the head.

Millipedes breathe through two pairs of spiracles on each diplosegment. Each opens into an internal pouch, and connects to a system of tracheae. The heart runs the entire length of the body, with an aorta stretching into the head. The excretory organs are two pairs of malpighian tubules, located near the mid-part of the gut.

Due to their lack of speed and their inability to bite or sting, millipedes' primary defense mechanism is to curl into a tight coil protecting their delicate legs inside an armored body exterior. Many species also emit poisonous liquid secretions or hydrogen cyanide gas through microscopic pores called odoriferous glands along the sides of their bodies as a secondary defense.
