How do you identify centipede ? They have on leg per body segment and 1 pair of poison claws/fangs underneath the head.
Centipedes are predatory and will kill and consume a variety of other invertebrates such as spiders, molluscs, many insects, slaters and other centipedes. Some have been observed feeding on small vertebrates such as frogs, mice and small geckoes. Prey is usually immobilised by venom injected through the fangs and then torn into pieces by the mandibles and the soft parts are eaten.
This pic was taken in my home at Northern beaches in Sydney.
