In English, 'ghon' is called a centipede.
Centipedes are elongated, segmented arthropods belonging to the class Chilopoda. They are characterized by having one pair of legs per body segment. Despite their name, which means "hundred legs," centipedes can have anywhere from fewer than 20 to over 300 legs.
Here's a summary of key characteristics:
- Appearance: They have flattened bodies with many segments.
- Legs: Each segment (except for the head and the last few) has a pair of legs.
- Predatory Nature: Centipedes are primarily predators, feeding on insects, spiders, and other small invertebrates. They use venomous claws (forcipules) to subdue their prey.
- Habitat: They are found in a variety of terrestrial habitats, including under rocks, logs, and in soil. They prefer moist environments.
- Defense: While generally not aggressive towards humans, some larger species can deliver a painful bite with their forcipules.
