Centipedes locate each other by means of pheromones which are released by the female. When a male has located a female, he weaves a small silk pad and deposits a small package of sperm on it. The female then picks up the package with some special claspers at her rear end. The eggs are laid singly in soil.
Centipedes have only 14 legs when they hatch. As they grow they shed their skin and grow new segments and legs.

I don't know.....but i don't think mating is in the vocabulary of centipedes. I guess they've got no idea about sex
