Description
The Lithobiomorpha, commonly known as stone centipedes, exhibit fascinating traits often misunderstood. Unlike their more notorious relatives, these centipedes are not aggressive toward humans and are generally timid creatures. A common misconception is that their venom poses a significant threat to people; however, their bite is primarily effective against small prey rather than larger animals. Their ability to thrive in diverse environments, from forests to caves, highlights their adaptability. Moreover, they possess a remarkable speed, allowing them to navigate swiftly through their territories, making them proficient hunters of insects and other small invertebrates.
