 | | The house centipede (Scutigera coleoptrata) is a fast-moving carnivore that feeds on insects such as cockroaches and other small invertebrates. | | | The most anterior trunk segment of a centipede has a pair of venomous claws (called maxillipeds) that are used for both defense and for capturing and paralyzing prey. | | | Centipedes (Class Chilopoda) are fast-moving venomous, predatory terrestrial arthropods that have long bodies and many jointed legs. |

| | Centipedes are chiefly nocturnal and predominantly carnivorous, feeding on insects or other small arthropods, though the largest species can kill small vertebrates. | | | The arthropods include crustaceans, insects, centipedes, millipedes, symphylans, pauropodans, and the extinct trilobites. | | | Centipedes are widely distributed in temperate and tropical lands, living in the soil or surface litter, and under logs or rocks. |

| | Centipede |
| | Centipede is a tough, low-growing lawn grass that thrives with little care in the lower South, particularly in places where the soil is naturally acidic. | | | Centipede is a shallow-rooted grass and declining vigor can usually be traced to the grass having trouble taking in nutrients, water, or both. | | | Centipede is naturally a medium green color and should be fertilized less often than other lawn grasses. |

| | House centipede - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | House centipedes lay their eggs in the spring and, in a laboratory experiment of 24 house centipedes, it was found the average centipede laid 63 eggs and a maximum of around 151 eggs. | | | The house centipede, sometimes known as the Kingston bug, has (when fully grown) 15 pairs of very long, delicate legs and a rigid body, which enables it to run with incredible speed up walls and along ceilings and floors. | | | When it does, it is no worse than a minor bee sting. |

| | Centipede Care |
| | Centipede grass is sometimes referred to as the "lazy person's grass" because it requires less maintenance than most other types of turf grasses. | | | Centipede seed is even smaller than Bermuda seed, so to get uniform coverage, mix the seed with sand before you put it in your spreader. | | | Centipede goes dormant in the winter, resulting in even less maintenance. |

| | Centipedes and Millipedes (012) |
| | Centipedes and millipedes are not insects because they have more than six legs, but they are closely related invertebrates. | | | Centipedes have pair of poison claws behind the head and use the poison to paralyze their prey, usually small insects. | | | Some people mistakenly refer to them as "wireworms." (Wireworms are the larval stage of a beetle that feeds on roots of plants.) Millipedes are usually brown to blackish in color. |

The centipede(s) work itself downwards towards the bottom of the screen. | | | The centipede (one head with many sections comprising a tail) begins its travels at the top centre of the screen, moving back and forth, dropping down one "line" at a time as it impacts with either a mushroom or the side of the screen. |
