"Arthropode myriapode originaire d'Europe qui s'est répandu dans le monde entier. Ayant plus de trois paires de pattes, les scutigères ne sont pas des insectes."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scutigera_coleoptrata
"Scutigera coleoptrata (one of several species commonly known as the house centipede), is a typically yellowish-grey centipede with 15 pairs of legs. Originally endemic to the Mediterranean region, the species has spread to other parts of the world, where it usually lives in human homes. It is an insectivore; it kills and eats arthropods such as insects and arachnids."
