Centipedes

The chilopods or centipedes ( Chilopoda ) are a class of myriapod arthropods commonly referred to as "centipedes" (just like diplopods). Each of the many segments of the chilopods has a pair of legs except the first, whose pair of appendages are transformed into a pair of venom hooks called "forcipules". This unique feature among myriapods defines their class. The bite of the larger species is painful for an adult male and sometimes can be very dangerous for a child.
