All our lives we focus more on the big and grand things that we often forget to recognize and appreciate the little things that matter. The same thing happens when we admire nature. While looking at fully open flowers, we forget to admire the beauty of the tiny lilies and buds. Often, while admiring the leaves, branches and trunks of huge trees like the banyan, we often mistakenly crush the beneficial grass and herbs under our feet. Furthermore, while we admire the courage and power of huge animals, we forget to appreciate the small creatures that God has created.
Let’s talk today about one of those little creatures: the centipede!
Have you ever observed a centipede up close? Yes, they look creepy, but the following facts might make you think that even creepy insects like the centipede can also be surprising in their own way. But hey, everything has a price, even lighting. We negotiate today! We will enlighten you with some amazing facts about centipedes and you will have to help us find the centipede hidden in the image below. Are you ready for it?

Fact 1:
Insects should not be called “Centipedes”.
Yes, you read it right. Centipede literally means “having a hundred legs.” However, centipedes can have between 15 and 177 pairs of legs.
Fact 2:
Centipedes can have a very long lifespan! A centipede can live up to 5 or 6 years. This life expectancy is much longer than that of other arthropods.

Fact 4:

Fact 5:
Are you a night owl? So are centipedes!
Yes, centipedes are night owls. It is difficult to find a centipede wandering here and there during the day.
