Ishimukade (English spelling) long-legged centipede
A general term for arthropods belonging to the order Lithobiomorpha in the class Chilopoda (Centipedes). Small for a centipede, with a body length of 4-30 mm. Slightly flattened, adults have 15 pairs of legs. Body color ranges from brown to orange, with terrestrial species being darker. They live in large numbers under stones, in fallen leaves, and in the soil, but are named after the fact that they often congregate under stones. They do not bite humans. They are distributed widely throughout the world. They lay eggs from spring to summer, when the eggs are covered in mud and left underground.
