what is the scientific name for the millipede?

They're in the Diplopoda class, and a lot are in the Julida and Spirostrepida orders.  Now there's an array of suborders and families, try the spirostrepida order... they're nice.  \n\nAs there's many types of millipedes, you might need to narrow down your search a bit.

I saw a movie once in class where millipedes (one sort of them) produce some toxins as a defense mechanism. And then there were these monkeys, that would squeeze the millipede (just enough for them to produce the toxin, not to kill them) and rub them all over their fur. This toxin then protects the monkey from the insects. It also gets them hight, but it wears off in a few hours.

Microbiology \n \nAmericans are fascinated by world records. The Guiness Book of World Records is a very popular text because we are interested in the biggest and the best of everything. \n\nIn the late '80s a Dr. Fishelson found a very unusual bacterium called Epulopiscium fishelsoni. This bacterium lives in the gut of a Red Sea surgeonfish. This bacterium can grow up to 600 micrometers long and 80 micrometers wide. The average Epulopiscium fishelsoni is 250 micrometers long and 40 micrometers wide. Six hundred micrometers is a little over a half a millimeter. A millimeter is about as long as the period in the box below. \n\n1millimeter=. \n\nThe human eye can see things as small as 200 micrometers, making this bacteria the first one to actually be visible to the naked eye. To give you a better idea of how big this bacterium really is, "normal-sized" bacteria are only about 0.2 micrometers to about 1.5 micrometers in length or diameter. \nIn the microbial world a record has finally been broken for the biggest bacteria in the world. The record holder for the biggest bacteria recorded on the earth is now (drum roll please): Thiomargarita namibiensis. This behemoth of bacteria is round rather than rectangle like Epulopiscium fishelsoni. It averages about 180 micrometers in diameter. The largest cells have been measured at 750 micrometers. On a cell volume basis the largest Epulopiscium fishelsoni is .003 millimeters cubed. However, Thiomargarita namibiensis' largest cells have an enormous volume of 0.22 millimeters cubed. \n\nNot only is Thiomargarita namibiensis a giant but it is also very unusual. It utilizes sulfates and nitrates to get its energy. This bacteria found off the coast of Namibia is in the sediment at the bottom of the ocean. Basically, Thiomargarita namibiensis gets necessary electrons from sulfates. It then uses nitrates to grab onto the electron instead of oxygen. Those electrons are eventually used to generate energy for the cell. It gets its enormous size because it stores huge amounts of nitrates to hold onto these electrons. It needs to store the nitrates because nitrate levels are very low in these waters most of the time. It isn't until a major storm stirs up the mud at the bottom of the ocean that Thiomargarita namibiensis can get the nitrates it needs. \n\nWhen nitrates are around, these bacteria literally stuff themselves with nitrate. In essence they are a huge ball of nitrates with a very thin layer of cytoplasm (cytoplasm contains all the necessary stuff for bacteria to live, grow, and reproduce) around this nitrate. \n\nThis bacteria may prove useful in other areas of the world's oceans. \n In waters contaminated with nitrates from fertilizers and sewage these organisms may be useful in taking up these nitrates. If too much nitrate is in the water, algae in the water will grow out of control and kill or chase away other inhabitants in the area. Thiomargarita namibiensis could be placed in these nitrate rich waters to remove them and prevent the algae from growing out of control. There needs to be a lot more work done on this unique bacterium. Researchers have yet to get it to grow in a test tube. However, in time this giant among bacteria may be tamed and utilized to help in other areas of the world. \n \nFor more information go to the Science(April 16, 1999, vol. 284, No.5413, pages 415 and 493-495) article. You can't get all the information from the online version unless you are a subscriber. On the other hand, the cover of that issue has a picture of this mighty bacteria. \n\nTake Care and Think Microbiologically!

If the answerer above had actually read the link he provided, he would have realized that millipedes are NOT predatory.  They feed on dead and decaying plant material.  They really like lettuce and cucumbers, but both of these are mostly water, so it's important to supplement it with other fruits and veggies.  Since they like 'em rotten, it's not important to get them out of the tank when they start getting icky.  This is a good way to use up those bendy carrots and freezer burned peas.  They also like fish food flakes (which are pretty much just algae).  I've heard that some of the brassicates (broccoli, cauliflower, kale, cabbage, Brussels sprouts) can be poisonous to millipedes.  I don't know if it's true or not.\n\nDead and decaying plant material from outside (leaves, weeds, etc) can also be provided, for habitat if not food.  You should put this in the freezer for a few days before adding to the tank to kill off any outside bugs that are hanging onto the material.\n\nThe rotting vegetation in the tank is probably the only drawback to keeping pet millipedes.  Other than that they're pretty easy to keep, and interesting.\n\nThey do exude a nasty smelling chemical when disturbed, which includes toxins like cyanide (!!!).  So it's important to wash your hands thoroughly after handling millipedes.\n\nThe millipedes themselves don't require spraying.  They do like high humidity in their habitat however, and if you are keeping them in a tank, then the plants and moss in the tank should be kept moist.  How often you need to do this will depend on how high the temperature inside the tank is, and what your local humidity is like.  Where I live it is very dry, and one tank of millipedes I helped take care of needed misting twice a day.  Other areas may require much less.\n\nHow long they live depends on what species they are.  Most pet millipedes are African giant millipedes, and will live 7 to 10 years if kept healthy.\n\nMale millipedes have a specialized pair of mating legs on their 7th body segment called gonopods.  These look kind of claw like, and may be carried tucked up under the body.  That's the easiest way to tell them apart from females, but it's not that easy to see even if you know what you're looking for.\n\nIf you do indeed get a male and female millipede, the mating will pretty much take care of itself.  Once they lay eggs, the little baby millipedes will stay under the soil, so you need to bury some food for them.  Another major food source for the babies is actually their parent's poop, so it's a good idea to bury it in the tank, rather than cleaning it out.

google it..type in scientific insect names. That always helps. OR type in the name of the insect, and all sorts of stuff should pop up
