I've seen a number of wild centipedes and have never seen a natural ectoparasite. The grain mites that attach to centipedes in captivity attach to all sorts of invertebrates and even plastic containers. They are not practicing parasitism, they are practicing phoresy.

I've only heard how to get rid of them on Pede's And that was to use Talcum Powder (baby powder) to dry them up....Dunno if that will help or not, but it got rid of the one's on one of my Pede's....
