    🤓uhm ackhtually centipedes are not insects but are members of a different group of arthropods called Myriapods, along with everyone’s favorite detritivores the millipedes

    edit for additional infodumping: their venom injecting apparatuses are modified legs called forcipules or toxicognaths, and they are the only known animal with such features.

      My favorite myriapod is Arthropleura. Imagine a millipede the length of a car!
