Ok now I’m curious about what the fuck the two centipedes I found in my basement that I thought were fucking were actually doing. They sure looked like they were fucking.

Don’t humanize centipedes! That leads to strange and disturbing things…

There are way, way more “centipede monster girl” image results… DuckDuckGo/Google

Caterpillar girls are fine though.

Someone has already centipedized humans. This is the next step.

A disappointingly large proportion of the general population appears to be unable to tell the difference between centipedes and millipedes. Is it possible that the “centipedes” you saw were actually millipedes? If so, they may have been “fucking”, or at least the millipede equivalent of it.

Additionally, it appears that this “fact” is actually wrong (big surprise, huh?). Many species of centipede do have courtship strategies that involve males and females meeting up. The sexes may even employ various forms of physical touch as part of the process. So, it’s certainly possible that the critters you saw where centipedes courting each other.

Assuming this is actually representative of the difference, it was definitely a pair of centipedes.

I’m not surprised in the least that at a minimum it’s more complicated than the meme suggests, and now I’ve learned far more about centipedes than I ever wanted to. Thanks!

Centipedes see other Centipedes as food, which is why they reproduce this way.

Source: made it up, but it seems logical. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They could have been fighting. Maybe there was a lack of available food or fluid.

maybe they’re just the cuddly-type except for the distancing-fucking
