Yes, even at that young age I knew that I couldn't call it a "worm", because Mom taught us that worms don't have legs. And whenever I would see one, it was already gone by the time we got the attention of an adult to check out what it was that spooked us. Good thing I did not think to get down on the floor and attempt to pick it up. Yes, creepy but beautiful, just like this Indian Tiger Centipede.
