Actually, it's chitin. Also, I don't know whether centipedes can or not, but spiders cannot digest chitin and use it for their own benefit, they synthesize it using other proteins. Centipedes might be able to digest it, based on the fact that they sometimes eat their own exuvia.Androctonus_bic said:If your questin is what is the matherial that compose the tergites/sternites legs, head and fangs, is a protein-------> Quitin, like all the artrhopods.
