Gut content analysis of the centipede reveals high levels of lumbricid and enchytraeid proteins, nutrient markers of small soil earthworms. [19] G.flavus predominantly preys upon smaller invertebrates such as worms, mites and insect larvae. [4] Occasionally, if food sources are scarce G.flavus feeds on plant material, or other centipedes. [7]
