Centipedes are adapted for a predatory lifestyle through various features, including a body structure that allows for agility, modified legs called forcipules that inject venom into prey, and sensory adaptations that enhance their ability to locate food. Their speed and carnivorous diet further support their role as effective predators in the ecosystem.
