Millipede:
- The class Diplopoda, from which the word "millipede" is derived, is a group of arthropods that are distinguished by having two pairs of jointed legs on most body segments.
- Two single segments are joined to form each double-legged segment.
Caterpillar:
- Members of the order Lepidoptera in the larval stage are known as caterpillars (the insect order comprising butterflies and moths).
- The word's use is arbitrary, as it is with most common names, as caterpillars are another term for sawfly larvae (suborder Symphyta).
- Larvae of symphylans and lepidopterans exhibit eruciform body forms.

Let, the caterpillar's legs be [tex]x[/tex].
[tex]x+(x+14) = 46\\2x+14=46\\2x=46-14\\2x=32\\x=\frac{32}{2} \\x=16[/tex]
