No, centipedes usually have very long back legs which resemble their antennae. This makes it more difficult for potential predators such as birds to correctly identify which end is the head. If the centipede is mistakenly picked up by the tail end it can reach round and use its powerful jaws (which are actually modified legs) to defend itself.
