Donating to the Museum
Upon donation to the Museum, Blathers will say this about the centipede: "Indeed, centipedes are quite fast to boot, wot? If the beast attacks us, how will we flee to safety? Moreover, they have hard shells, so we can't stop it with a furious stomping... We're doomed!"

Centipedes can be found on the second level, near the rafflesia, along with the fly.
