"450 Ma (million years ago) Arthropods, with an exoskeleton that provides
support and prevents water loss,[13] are the first animals to move onto
land.[14] Among the first are Myriapoda (millipedes and centipedes), later
followed by spiders and scorpions."
We millipedes have been around for a long time.
