Brown centipede (Lithobius forficatus), also known as stone centipede, is a common European centipede of the family Lithobiidae, although its distribution is not exclusive to Europe. It is 18 to 30 mm long and up to 4 mm broad and is a chestnut brown color. Like most lithobiids, it is found in the upper layers of soil, particularly under rocks and rotting logs. This predator has specially-adapted front legs which have evolved to resemble 'fangs' and they contain venom that allows the centipede to overpower its prey
