Centipede is a terrestrial arthropod, and its body is composed of many joints, each with a foot, so it is a multi-legged creature. Centipede, also known as dragon, centipede, small centipede, centipede, viper maggot, etc. It is a predatory terrestrial arthropod with poisonous glands. Common centipedes have red head, green head and black head. The back of the head is red and black, and the abdomen is reddish, which is light orange or yellow. Qingtou's back and feet are blue, his abdomen is light blue, and his body is very small, about half the length of a red-headed centipede. So which is the longest centipede?
The longest millipede in the world: Galapagos giant centipede
Galapagos giant centipede: Galapagos giant centipede, Latin scientific name Scolopendra galapagoensis, with an average body length of 25-26cm and the longest length of 32cm, is a tiger-footed giant that looks like Hainan centipede. It is understood that the centipede ranks first in length and strong in shape. Distributed in Santa Cruz Island of Galapagos Islands, coastal areas of Ecuador, southern Peru and Cook Islands.
Introduction: The length of giant centipede is generally more than 20 cm, and the longest giant centipede in Galapagos can even grow to more than 30 cm. The average individual length is 25-26 cm, and the longest known is 32 cm. Before the appearance of the Galapagos giant centipede (Scolopendra/Galapagoes), the Peruvian giant centipede was generally considered as the largest species in the world. The distribution of Galapagos giant centipede is: Santa Cruz Island in Galapagos Islands, coastal areas of Ecuador, southern Peru and Cook Islands.
The longest millipede in the world: introduction to classification
Multi-legged subphylum (formerly known as multi-legged subphylum)
Polypoda belongs to the animal kingdom (Arthropoda) (Polypoda).
Subordinate classification: Lipopoda, Bipoda, Cladocera, Olipoda.
Main features: The body is divided into two parts: head and trunk. The trunk consists of many segments, each segment has 1-2 pairs of feet.
Subtotal of classification
Diolot Boda: commonly known as Ma Lu, also known as? Millipede? Because almost all body segments have two pairs of walking feet, this group is called diplopoda. The biped is divided into 15 orders, 135 families and 1800 genera, with about 1 1000 species.
Pauropoda: The body is usually very small, 0.5? 2mm, forming a jaw with biped. The body consists of 1 1 joint and a tail joint, covering 6 backboards and 9 pairs of feet. Oligopods are divided into 2 orders, 5 families, 30 genera and about 550 species.
Comprehensive outline
It is generally 2-8mm long, milky white, and looks like a centipede. There are 12 pairs of walking feet in the trunk. The comprehensive classification is 1 order, 2 families and 13 genera, with about 200 species.
Lipopods: commonly known as centipedes and millipedes, centipedes in a broad sense refer to lippods. The degree of body keratinization is low, each joint has a pair of walking feet, the body length is mostly between 10-300mm, and the largest individual can exceed 400 mm. A pair of huge jaws are powerful predatory tools, hence the name lipopoda, which is actually an appendage of the first trunk segment. Lipopoda is divided into 5 orders, 2 1 family, 325 genera and about 3200 species.
Chilopoda
Fat feet are divided into two categories: shape and asexuality. * * * Including the existing 5 orders: Scolopendropha, Scolopendropha, Geophilomorpha, Scoloperiopha (endemic to Tasmania, Australia and the southern islands of New Zealand), Scutigeromopha is divided into 5 orders and 265438+. 1 Extinction order: Devonobiomorpha, an extinct fossil order, found in the Middle Devonian strata in Gilbert, new york, USA. Phenotypes: eggs hatch, and the number of nodes of larvae and adults is the same.
Subordinate classification
Geophilomorpha:30 slender body? 170 feet, no eyes.
Scolopendromorpha: Use 2 1? Feet, with or without eyes.
Asexual type: the eggs are not hatched, the larvae are only partially adult, and the adults are all 15 bipedal.
Subordinate classification
Lithogenic morphology: stomata appear in pairs on the side of the body.
Scutellaria: the feet and antennae are very long, and the pores are unpaired, and the openings are in the dorsal midline of the backboard.
