Centipede is a song by a band called Knife Party. This is also where the terms "nimble navigator" and "impressive length" (later "impressive [anything, really]") comes from: The song has an excerpt from some centipede based documentary.

If you're not in to dubstep or weird music videos this probably won't be your cup of tea, but the video in question is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSemARaqGqE

Giant tropical centipedes share their territories with tarantulas
Despite it's impressive length, it's a nimble navigator, and some can be highly venomous
As quick as lightning, just like the tarantula it's killing
the centipede has two curved hollow fangs which inject paralyzing venom
Even tarantulas aren't immune from an ambush
This centipede is a predator
Centipede!

Edit: Come to think of it, Nietzsche's Zarathustra had plenty to say on Tarantulas (black widows, really, but he called them tarantuals for some reason).

You preachers of equality
To me you are tarantulas, and secretly vengeful
But I shall bring your secrets to light
Therefore I laugh in your faces with my laughter of the heights
Therefore I tear at your webs
That your rage may lure you out of your lie-holes
And your revenge may leap out from behind your word: justice

...

The tarantulas, of course, would have it otherwise
"What justice means to us is precisely that the world be filled
With the storms of our revenge"
Thus they speak to each other
"We shall wreak vengeance and abuse on all whose equals we are not"
Thus do the tarantula-hearts vow
"And 'will to equality' shall henceforth be the name for virtue
And against all that has power we want to raise our clamour!"
You preachers of equality, the tyrannomania of impotence clamours

...

And when they call themselves "the good and the just"
Do not forget that they would be pharisees, if only they had power
