Dumb question but I thought centipedes had like... 95 legs or something.
The one in the op doesn't have that many. Why are people thinking it's a centipede?
Because centipedes vary a lot between species. The house centipede only has up to 15 pairs (30 legs): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scutigera_coleoptrata
They can actually range from roughly 30-350 legs! Fun fact
I guess ninetyfivepede doesn't really roll off the tongue.
That's why you always find dead garden millipedes curled up in a spiral. The odd number of legs makes them walk in circles until they die from it. "True" story.
