What do centipedes eat?

Centipedes are active hunters, and they look around for smaller insects or spiders to eat. Rarely, a centipede will attack a larger prey. Where there is no prey, they will consume certain types of plants that have some of their necessary proteins. They eat insects, spiders, and other small invertebrates.
