Centipede skeleton
The Centipede field of the Invertebrates section should list stations where centipedes are found.
Centipedes are classified as arthropods, not insects. Centipedes can be identified by their long bodies, with each segment having one pair of legs. The total number of legs varies, but there are usually 20 or more. They have 2 pincers just behind the head. Centipedes are brown, dark brown, to rust. Their bite is painful (like a bee sting), but not fatal. They move very quickly and can be quite large. The size can vary from small (an inch or less) to several inches in length. Centipedes should not be confused with millipedes.
