How many feet does a centipede called "centipede" have?

Centipede, commonly known as "hundred feet", has no one hundred legs, only twenty feet. It is a phylum of arthropods, belonging to a polypod. Centipede is one of the animals with a long history on the earth. This primitive animal appeared in nature about 400 million years ago. It is a poisonous predator, and its sense of touch and vision is very keen. Even poisonous hairy spiders can't escape its pursuit.

It preys at lightning speed and tries its best to catch prey. Its chemical weapons are fangs and poisonous glands. It has two curved hollow fangs which communicate with poisonous glands. After it catches the prey, it quickly inserts the fangs into the body, injects venom, paralyzes the prey first, and then kills it. Centipede often emits a special smell to delimit its sphere of influence.

Extended data:

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.
