Chilopoda is a class of arthropods commonly known as centipedes. They are characterized by their elongated bodies and numerous legs, with each body segment typically having one pair of legs. Centipedes are primarily nocturnal predators, feeding on insects and other small invertebrates. They are found in various habitats, including forests, grasslands, and caves. These creatures have a unique body structure, with a head that features antennae and compound eyes. Chilopoda possess venomous fangs, which they use to subdue their prey. While most centipedes are harmless to humans, some species can deliver painful bites.
