There are more than one kind of centipede and they all have different habits. With as many climates as we are all from and centipedes are all from it is hard to give advice on such a subject unless you are REALLY familiar with the species. Imagine if someone said they had a Euphorbia growing in their back yard-how many damn euphorbias are there (even poinsettia is a euphorbia) out there. You can't make such sweeping statements about insects like that. My advice is to find a local entomologist maybe at a college nearby if there is one. They tend to know a lot even about bugs they aren't focussed on. Jared R. Shortman jared@libcong.com Tucson Growers tucgrow@earthlink.net http://home.earthlink.net/~tucgrow (520) 882-7060 2509 N.
