What is the reprodution and life cycle of a centipede and millipede?
MILLIPEDES: Reproduction 1.Millipedes reproduce sexually, where the sperm from the male is deposited inside the body of the female to fertilize her eggs. In millipedes, depending on the species, mating can take up to two days. There is a mating season for millipedes, but again, this season differs depending on the species. Males generally rub the female’s side with his legs. She responds by tapping her legs around his until eventually the two millipedes intertwine. Eggs and Hatching 2.The female then goes off to make a nest out of fecal material the hatchlings will eat, but sometimes she doesn’t bother and just deposits them into the ground, preferring soil rather than concrete or stone. She can lay from 20 to 300 eggs. The eggs incubate for a span of a few weeks to three months and then hatch. Depending on the species, some females will protect the nest, but most do not care for the eggs in any way. Millipede hatchlings look similar to their parents, but only have seven body segments
