Diplopoda, commonly known as millipedes, possess two pairs of jointed appendages per body segment, except for the first segment, which typically has one pair. This results in a total of two pairs of legs per body segment, giving them the characteristic many-legged appearance. In addition to legs, they may have antennae and specialized structures called gonopods for reproduction in males. Overall, their appendages are adapted for locomotion and sensory functions.
