maybe this one is an old joke but it's funny for me. as a newbie in centipede hobbyist, just want to share it with you guys. =)



Question: do centipedes sometimes eat itself? or a form of suicide?

 

[LawnShrimp]

Centipedes, like most invertebrates, don't really have the mental capacity to commit suicide (unlike myself after reading that meme ), but if one is injured it may consume its own blood or innards as a survival strategy. I don't think centipedes are immune to their own venom though.

Hahaha that meme is pretty funny.
