CollectA Centipede 88885

Centipede (centipede or millipede- from the Latin word centum = hundred, pes,
pedis = foot) which includes centipedes and other multi-footed creatures. They are creatures
that are elongated and have back-to-back pairs of legs -one pair per body section.
Most Centipedes are generally venomous and their bite could be painful. They inject their venom
through pincer-like mouthparts. Despite the name, centipedes can have a
varying number of legs, ranging from 30 to 354. Centipedes always
have an odd number of pairs of legs. Therefore, no centipede has exactly 100 legs. Similar to
spiders and scorpions, centipedes are primarily carnivorous.
