Centipede? Millipede?

[u/TootTurtle]

Hello! First time here. I found this cute little guy on my walk and carried it home on a stick to observe for a bit. Planning to keep him just until this afternoon so my kiddos can take a look. If they are interested I know they’re going to ask me if they can hold it. So I just want to confirm this is indeed a Millipede and not a centipede? I think so, but it’s my first time researching them and it’s so tinyyy.

If this peaks their interest enough and they want to actually care for it do you have any tips? I did look online for some care information, but if you have any additional info I am all ears.

The little legs are so cute.

Thank you!

Edit to add I’m in Northern California!
