The House Centipede

Picture
Centipedes are not classified as insects but belong to a separate class of arthropods called Chilopoda. They have anywhere from 15 to 300 pairs of legs.

They normally live outdoors and have the same habitat as sowbugs and millipedes. They can run rappidly and can squeeze into tiny crack and crevices for dwelling.

The "1000 legged" Millipede

Picture
During the winter months Millipedes will take shelter under rocks, debris and equipment. The hibernation is to protect its self from the extreme cold temperatures. They need this rest because in the springtime they will deposit up to 300 eggs that they will bury in the soil. They feed on tomatoes, dropped fruit from trees, strawberries, corn and peas. 

Because of the high moisture requirement for this insect to say alive, they are often found in dark moist plac. Areas that are most commonly found are under:
  • Rocks
  • Leaves
  • Stones
  • Inside Soil
  • Rotting Wood
