Good grief, didn't you look under stones or disturb piles of stuff when
building dens in the woods as a lad?

Even though that's quite a long example it's tiddly compared to the one
as saw on wooded path in Malaysia. That one was about and inch across the
legs and over 6" long, I took a photo but otherwise kept clear. Summat
that size could give quite a bite and many are venomous...

No it's not it's a centipede. Millipedes have a different body structure
and legs more underneath.

Oddly enough if you count the legs it seems to have exactly 100!

I thought the WP article said they always had an odd number of pairs of
legs?

My memory says to me the difference is that centipedes have two legs per
segment, and millipedes have 4.
