    House centipedes lay their eggs in spring. In a laboratory observation of 24 house centipedes, an average of 63 and a maximum of 151 eggs were laid. As with many other arthropods, the larvae look like miniature versions of the adult, albeit with fewer legs. Young centipedes have four pairs of legs when they are hatched.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthropod_mouthparts

    Centipedes, in addition to their mouthparts, possess a pair of "poison claws", or forcipules. These, like the maxillipeds of crustaceans, are modified legs and not true mouthparts. [ 2 ] The forcipules arise from the first body segment, curving forward and to the midline.

Most butterflies and moths lack mandibles as they mainly feed on nectar from flowers. Queen bees have mandibles with sharp cutting teeth unlike worker bees, who

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandibulata

    The name "Mandibulata" refers to the mandibles, a modified pair of limbs used in food processing, the presence of which are characteristic of most members of the group. The mandibulates are divided between the extant groups Myriapoda (millipedes & centipedes, among others) and Pancrustacea (including insects and crustaceans, among others).
