๐Ÿค“uhm ackhtually centipedes are not insects but are members of a different group of arthropods called Myriapods, along with everyone's favorite detritivores the millipedes

edit for additional infodumping: their venom injecting apparatuses are modified legs called forcipules or toxicognaths, and they are the only known animal with such features.

My favorite myriapod is Arthropleura. Imagine a millipede the length of a car!
