If the habitat is too small and there are too many centipedes, the old centipedes will automatically leave and find another habitat.

Female centipedes that are laying eggs will immediately stop laying eggs, while centipedes that are incubating eggs will, contrary to their normal behavior, eat the eggs if frightened.

3. Likes dark and humid environment. Wild centipedes mostly live on hillsides, fields, roadsides, weedy areas, or in firewood piles and gaps between roof tiles. They also often live in dark corners such as kitchen corners. Centipede footprints are often seen under bricks and tiles around pig houses and chicken coops.

4. They stay in the nest during the day and come out to move around at night. The peak activity period for centipedes is from 8 to 12 o'clock in the evening. They usually return to their nests to rest before 4 o'clock in the morning. It is difficult to see centipedes after daybreak.

During the day, the centipede has poor eyesight and cannot see clearly things that are slightly far away, making it difficult for it to find food and defend against enemies. It can only rely on a pair of slender tentacles extending forward to find its way, and also rely on its tentacles to search for prey and find food at night.

5. Licking habits

Centipedes frequently lick their antennae and legs with the dense hairs on the protrusions of the first maxilla and the base of the maxilla, the brush-like bristles on the back of the second maxilla, and the saliva from their mouths. They also lick their own nests to keep them clean.
