CENTIPEDE

A centipede is a creepy crawly!

The centipede looks like a small bug that grows up to 4cm long. It has 9 to 200 legs. It also has fangs.

HABITAT: The centipede is found in tropical and temperate climates all over the world.

HOW THEY ARE DANGEROUS: On the segment next to the centipedes head with its feelers there are claws which contain poison to kill their prey. The poison can cause pain and swelling. Their bite can be as bad as a wasp sting.

CENTIPEDES CAN BE FOUND IN YOUR GARDEN SO BE CAREFUL!!!!!!!
