just a few geophilomorph centipedes today
found nearly anywhere with soil (their name means earth-lovers), these are the most successful and species-rich order of centipedes.
Tumblr media
you’re unlikely to see any unless you dig, and this bunch was sifted out of old soil and put in a container for release. while geophilomorphs are caring mothers that guard their many babies, these juveniles and adults wouldn’t likely be associated so closely or touching one another naturally—but given that I only inspected three small pots, can coexist at very high densities!

house centipede?
Surprisingly, I've never seen one of these in real life. I have had the pleasure of having millipedes wind up in my house though.

the most wonderfully calm and polite allothereua maculata i have ever met. usually they're incredibly scrambly and run around in an understandable panic but this guy was chilling in a crevice in some fallen bark. wonderful.

Taxonomy Tournament: Arthropods
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Chilopoda. This class is made up of centipedes, elongated many-legged predators. They lack a waxy cuticle present in insects and arachnids, and so avoid sunlight to prevent drying out.
Diplopoda. This class is made up of millipedes, elongated many-legged detritivores which feed on dead plant matter, though some species eat fungi or drink plant fluid.

Scutigera coleoptrata
House centipede
Ciempiés doméstico
11 of March 2023 - New York, USA
Young house centipedes are born with four pairs of legs (eight legs total) and with subsequent molts will gain new legs until they eventually reach 15 pairs of legs (thirty legs total). Isn’t that wild? At the time they reach 15 pairs of legs they are considered an adolescent and will go through four more molts before they become an adult. Females can survive for several years. They are nocturnal and feed on a wide variety of insects.
They are originally native to the Mediterranean but were accidentally introduced into the southern United States.
