Centipede (Lithobius sp.) artwork. This ground- dwelling hunter has a segmented body,each one containing a pair of legs. The number of segments varies from twelve to over one hundred. The legs on the first trunk segment (centre left) are modified to form claws that contain poison glands,which are used to seize and kill prey. The centipede is blind and so hunts by touch with its antennae (upper left) | |
