Where is the stinger on a centipede?

Centipede "stingers" are a pair of pincers on the first section of the body, right after the head. Technically, centipedes neither sting nor bite, because their venomous pincers are not true stingers, nor are they mouth parts. They are actually a pair of modified legs.


How many legs do centipedes?

The centipede is named by the number of legs it possesses. If you ever forget and ask yourself "how many legs does a centipede have?" just look at the prefix on the name. 'Cent' translates to mean 100 and there is your answer. Although some species of centipede do indeed have 100 legs it can vary from less than 100 to 200. Therefore it is more correct to say that a centipede can have 100 legs rather than it does have this many. While the word centipede literally means "100-footed," most centipedes do not have 100 legs. The number of legs a centipede has depends upon the number of body segments that make up its body and these numbers vary by species. Centipedes have one pair of legs per segment, with two pairs on each of the last two segments. A fully equipped adult centipede can have between 15 and 177 pairs of legs. Members of the Orders Lithobiomorpha and Scutigeromorpha have 15 pairs of legs. Unlike other centipede species, the Scutigera have long, multi-articulate, hairy legs, which enable them to establish a solid grip on the ground and move very quickly. However, Scutigera centipedes are not capable of pushing themselves through soil or into detritus. The house centipede has a rounded trunk with long, delicate legs, while the Geophilomorphs have long, slender bodies with up to 177 pairs of short legs. The colorful Scolopendromorphs have from 21 to 23 pairs of legs. The body segment behind the centipede's head contains two legs, which have been modified into venomous fangs for hunting prey. To aid in balance and agility, the legs of most centipede species become progressively longer the further away they are from the head. The last pair of legs trails behind the centipede's body and is equipped with sensory bristles. These legs act as a supplementary pair of antennae, allowing centipedes to back out of tight spaces. Centipedes are capable of dropping their legs when their survival depends upon it and can regenerate these body parts after shedding them.

What eats centipedes?

I have an old wildlife documentary where there is this little snake,(which the documentary fails to mention by name), attacks, kills and eats a giant centipede. It feeds "almost exclusively on giant centipedes." Though the the snake is bitten several times by the centipede in the attack, it is not affected by it; but the snakes own venom kills the centipede in seconds. And even though the snake seems longer in length, the centipede is 3 to 4 time bigger in girth. This snake, after subduing the centipede, proceeds in swallowing it whole. Head first. Alas! It's from the Tantilla family and is called a "blackhead" as well as, a "centipede snake" -Brent Mejia, Golden Meadow, Louisiana

How can you become a centipede master?

Carry a wooden flute and play a seductive folk tune. Proceed to tap the earth with your right big toe to alert the centipede that you wish to challenge it . When the centipede appears, bow your head and and honor it. If the centipede reciprocates the gesture then you have become the centipede master.
