Centipedes generally like to live in dark, humid and warm places. Generally, centipedes often appear near hot water bottles in toilets and kitchens at home.
Centipede is afraid of the sun. It doesn't sleep during the day and comes out at night. It likes to live in a dark, damp, warm, rain-proof and ventilated place. Generally, it is more common in rural areas, often located in damp corners, under bricks, under rotten leaves, and in dilapidated and damp houses, especially in summer.
Growth and development:
Centipede is a crustacean arthropod, and its body surface is covered with chitin, which limits its further growth and development. In order to get rid of the limitation of crustaceans on further growth and development, it is necessary to molt several times during the growth and development. Every time you molt, you obviously grow up. In embryonic development, it is necessary to molt three times. Adults usually molt once a year, and some molt twice. Molting is mostly carried out in midsummer or after spawning. The molting precursor changes color, moves slowly, does not eat, and the vision and antenna ability are weakened.
Molting is carried out from front to back, and finally the molting of the tail and foot. The old skin that falls off is shriveled, and when it is straightened, it is a complete centipede body. It takes about 2 hours to molt. Don't be disturbed when molting, otherwise it will prolong the molting time. When the artificially cultured centipede sheds its skin, it should also prevent swarms of ants from attacking it, otherwise it will be easily bitten by ants.
