How Do Centipedes Attack?

Mechanism of Attack

When a centipede attacks, it uses its legs to grip the skin of its prey.

The pain is not caused by the legs but rather by the centipede's head, which curves downward to stab with venomous forcipules.

The strong grip allows the centipede to inject venom multiple times into the same area.

This repeated injection pumps toxins into the victim, increasing the severity of the attack.
