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.
Different kinds of centipedes have different lifespans. Some live less than a year, but other types live up to seven years.
Centipedes usually are found in damp, dark places, such as under stones, leaf mulch, or logs.
Centipeds live under rotten leaves which falls off from trees.When it rains, the ground which is green in colour,CENTIPEDS LIVE THERE.
Centipedes live in the soil.
outdoors in damp shady areas
usually in tropical climates
the largest centipede FOUND (key word: found) was at about 9 inches long in the UK. then, someone in Venezuela claims to have seen a centipede about 18 inches long. but just because humans have seen/caught centipedes this long, it doesn't make it the largest!
It is not called a centipede
What type of ecosystem does a centipede live in
a centipede have 40 legs
how long is the centipede cost
Centipedes live in deserts, and forests.
mainly by eating insects on the ground, so they dont grow to a vast number
