As their name suggests, Centipedes have one pair of legs on each of
their segments, which can number up to 100. Measuring from 1 to 1.5
inches long, Centipedes vary in color and have a flattened body. Centipedes
will eat insects and spiders and typically love outside under damp leaves,
stones, etc. From time to time, Centipedes will enter homes where they
take refuge in moist basements and closets, or in bathrooms. They are
very fast and will run when disturbed. Centipedes can live as long as
5 to 6 years.
Halt Bugology Factoid
Centipedes have a "fearful" appearance but cause no damage
to the structure, household possessions or foods. Some can bite when
handled carelessly, resulting in a slight swelling or pain no worse
than a mild bee sting. (Factoid Source: Willian F. Lyon, Ohio State
University)
