How do they reproduce?

The female is fertilized internally and lays around 60 sticky eggs in a whole that she digs. In some species, the female cares for the eggs and hatchlings.

Centipedes have incomplete metamorphosis: young centipedes hatch from eggs and look like small adults. Centipedes shed their skin (a process called "molting") as they grow into adults, usually adding legs each time they molt.
