The centipede is an ancient and unique multi-legged invertebrate that is widely distributed throughout the world. Their body is usually long, composed of multiple body segments, each body segment has a pair of feet, the total number can reach dozens of pairs, so the name "centipede". In scientific research and education, centipede specimens are often used as objects of observation and learning.

Centipedes belong to the phylum arthropoda and are a typical predator that feeds primarily on insects and other small animals. They vary in size and color, from tiny few centimeters to large tens of centimeters, and common colors include brown, black, and some bright greens. The centipede's head has a pair of strong antennae and a pair of tweez-like mouth parts, features that allow them to hunt and defend themselves effectively.

The process of making a centipede specimen usually requires the complete body to be preserved in order to observe its anatomy and biological characteristics. Common methods include fixing it with formaldehyde or alcohol and soaking it in an appropriate solution to prevent decay. The preservation of centipede specimens can not only help biologists conduct scientific research, but also provide students with intuitive learning materials and in-depth understanding of the biological characteristics of arthropods.

Specimens of centipedes are often displayed in science museums and educational institutions, giving people an up-close look at this mysterious creature. The design of the specimen ensures that its color and form are as realistic as possible, which can help researchers conduct biological studies such as sex identification and species classification.

The ecological status of centipedes can not be ignored, they play an important role in the ecosystem, control the number of some pests, and have a positive impact on the maintenance of ecological balance. Although centipedes are regarded as pests and even feared in some cultures.
