| definition: |
A centipede is a small animal with a narrow body that is shaped like a worm. A centipede's body is divided into many segments, and each segment has a pair of legs. The front legs have claws with poison in them. This poison is quite dangerous to insects but not to humans.
Centipedes are active at night, so you don't usually see them during the day.
