Chilopoda
Centipede underneath a pot in my backyard, curled up when i lifted the pot up. centipedes can have anywhere from 20-300 legs.
Actually this is a MILLIPEDE rather than a centipede. Note the rounded body and two pairs of legs per body segment. Centipedes have a flatter body, one pair of legs per segment, and long grabbing venomous appendages in the front.
