Answer 2

Hoffman's dwarf centipede (Nannarrup hoffmani) is the centipede that is found in New York gardens. The 82-legged, short-antennaed, yellow-bodied, 0.41-inch (10.3-millimeter) arthropod of East Asian origin memorializes Radford College biology professor and Virginia Museum of Natural History invertebrates curator Richard Lawrence Hoffman (Sept. 25, 1927-June 10, 2012). Ten specimens were found in leaf litter collected during 1998 as part of a joint American Museum of Natural History and Central Park Conservancy effort to restore the Ramble and the Hallet Sanctuary in Central Park's North Woods to its natural state and identified through the joint efforts of centipede and millipede specialists in Italy and Dr. Hoffman in Virginia in 2002.
