Why do centipedes have so many legs?
Because centipedes belong to multi-legged animals, the first pair of feet are hooked and sharp, and there are poisonous glands at the end of the hook, which are generally called palatal teeth, claws or poisonous limbs, and can discharge poisonous juice. After the centipede is bitten, its venom glands secrete a lot of venom, which is injected into the skin of the bitten person along the mouth of the venom glands of the palatine teeth, causing poisoning.

Common centipedes have red head, green head and black head. The back of the head is red and black, and the abdomen is reddish, which is light orange or yellow. Qingtou's back and feet are blue, his abdomen is light blue, and his body is very small, about half the length of a red-headed centipede.

The habit of centipede

1, like to live in groups: centipedes have the habit of living in groups, and centipedes in the same group can live in harmony and rarely fight and kill. If the habitat is too small and there are too many centipedes, the old centipede will automatically walk away and find another habitat.

2. The centipede is timid and afraid of being frightened. If it is slightly frightened, it will stop eating, escape from the nest, or curl up. The female centipede that is laying eggs will stop laying eggs immediately, while the centipede that hatches eggs will eat eggs abnormally after being frightened.

3, like dark and humid. Most wild centipedes inhabit hillsides, fields, roadsides, overgrown places, or between woodpiles and tiles, and often inhabit dark corners, such as the corner of the kitchen. Scolope tracks are also common under the tiles around pig houses and chicken houses.
