Living habits

Centipede is afraid of the sun. It doesn't sleep during the day and comes out at night. It likes to live in a dark, warm, rain-proof and ventilated place. Scolopes likes to live in hilly areas and sandy land. During the day, they often lurk in the cracks of masonry, under the roots of walls, and in the dark corners of piles of leaves, weeds and rotten wood. At night, they come out to feed on caterpillars, spiders and cockroaches.

Generally, when the weather turns cold in May 438+1October in June, they dig holes into the soil on the hillside facing the sun in the lee, and lurk in the soil about 12cm deep from the ground. After the winter solstice (early March), as the weather gets warmer, they start to feed again.

Centipede has a strong ability to drill seams. It often uses its sensitive tentacles and flat head plate to explore joints, and most of the gaps between rocks and land can pass through or inhabit. When the density is too large or disturbed too much, it can cause cannibalism and even death. However, under the condition of artificial breeding, dozens of fish can live together with sufficient bait and drinking water.

Centipede is a typical carnivore, fierce in sex, with a wide range of food, especially fond of eating insects. When food is scarce in early spring, you can also eat a small amount of grass and moss buds.
