Centipedes are not insects, but arthropods belonging to the class Centipede. Although they belong to the phylum Arthropoda like insects, they are taxonomically different from insects. Here is a detailed introduction to Centipede:
Morphological characteristics:
Centipedes are multi-legged arthropods that typically have flat bodies rather than the slender bodies of insects. Their bodies are usually divided into segments made up of many segments. Centipedes have a pair of legs on each body segment, and the number of legs can vary depending on the type of centipede.
Living habits:
Most centipedes are nocturnal, finding food and reproducing at night. They live in a wide range of habitats, including underground, under trees, under bark, under rocks, etc.
feeding habits:
Centipedes are typically carnivores, feeding on other insects and small invertebrates. They obtain nutrients by capturing their prey and paralyzing and digesting it with their powerful venom.
toxicity:
Some centipedes are highly toxic, such as some large centipede species found in Asia. Their venom can cause discomfort or harm to humans.
Reproduction:
Centipedes usually reproduce by laying eggs.
Generally speaking, centipedes are a type of arthropod that is different from insects. They are different from insects in morphology, living habits and feeding habits, although they also belong to the phylum Arthropod.
