As always when Rocky the centipede appears, I'll remind folks that he's my tribute to my Daily Grind colleague, Andrew Rothery: most of the characters in his comic work in a toy store with a centipede as its mascot, y'see...
I'll also point folks to Rocky's first appearance--more or less--back in the middle of our 36th storyline "Chiaroscuro." That'll give you the "inside dope" on what centipedes do here in the Daily Grind cosmos, too.
