    For the interested, I wasn't sure whether this was a centipede or millipede. After some research, I found these characteristics that indicate it is a millipede:

    Millipedes are long and have 2 pairs of legs per body part, except for the first three. Millipede antennea are short.

    The other thing I learned is that they belong to the Diplopoda class, and therefore are not insects.
