Best Answer

Giant centipedes live in many rainforests, such as the Amazon. They inhabit many tropical islands, most significantly the US state of Hawaii, and also live in areas of the sonoran desert of Northwestern Mexico and the Southwestern USA.

The largest known living centiped is the Amazonian giant centipede (Scolopendra gigantea), with a 30 cm lenght.

There is a reasonable scientifical consensus that there may exist today even larger centiped species in the Amazon river basin, which is still today poorly explored.

But in the Carboniferous period there were much, much larger centipeds. Arthropleurafossils were fond with 2.6 metres lenght...

The centipede lives in areas where it can crawl under stones, dead wood, or other debris. It needs to have water as part of its habitat, but can survive in many hot, dry areas as long as it has access to moisture.

The habitat of the centipede generally includes the ground underneath of rocks and logs. They have also been known to burrow inside of rotten wood.
