Will centipedes come out at night in rainy days?

The centipede will come out on a rainy night.

Scolopes usually come out at night and mostly act alone. When moving forward, the antenna stretches forward, and when encountering obstacles, it immediately evades and detours. Although centipedes have eight eyes, their vision deteriorates, especially during the day. During the day, two centipedes crawled towards each other, but they couldn't find each other and didn't avoid each other until their sensitive antennae collided.

On a clear and windless night, 20: 00 ~ 23: 00 is the peak time for centipedes to hunt. The outdoor activities of centipede are characterized by less days and more nights, and the weather is hot in summer. When the temperature is above 25℃, the activity is high at 30℃. This is also the peak of growth and development. When the temperature is above 40℃, the young centipede and the old centipede are weak and heat-resistant and will die if they can't find a suitable place to hide.

In the prime of life, centipedes have strong vitality, and can survive at about 40℃, but stop growing. At about 20℃, the activity of centipede is general, and it will decrease at 10 ~ 15℃, which is related to eating more food before hibernation and storing more nutrition during hibernation. When it is lower than 10℃, it begins to hibernate, stops growth and development, and it is extremely easy to freeze to death at -2℃.

The activity rule of centipede is that the weather is sultry, and the activity amount is large at night after thunderstorm during the day, and the activity amount is average at night on sunny days. The weather turns cold, the temperature is low, the activities in rainy days are reduced, and people often go out for activities at night after the rain. In the absence of wind and breeze, the activity is normal, and the activity in windy weather above level 6 is reduced.

The middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River belong to the northern subtropical region, and the temperature is relatively high. The centipede went into hibernation at the end of 1 1. The hibernating centipede is no longer active and does not eat. Its body is in the shape of "S" or "L", its tentacles are curled from outside to inside, and its tail and feet are close together.

Humidity requirements of centipede

The water in the centipede is discharged into the atmosphere, mainly through the valves on both sides of the body. At a certain temperature, the water loss in centipede is negatively correlated with air humidity and soil humidity in living environment, that is, the greater the air humidity, the less the water loss in centipede.

Scolopendra reduces the discharge of water in the body by lurking in deep holes or gaps under the ground and stones. Scolopes will only move to the ground to hunt when the temperature and air humidity are suitable.
