I just caught a centipede, and tomorrow is the first day of August. Why?

There is no necessary connection between releasing centipedes and the first day of August. If we look at it separately, most people who release centipedes believe in Buddhism and do good deeds to keep them safe and pray for their blessings. The first day of the eighth lunar month this year is beginning of autumn, which is a very important solar term. Old people say that it will thunder in autumn and it won't rain too much all the year round ... Anyway, I pray that God will be in a good mood and it will be fine and it won't rain. In this way, there is a desire to pray, and it is not surprising that releasing centipedes is the corresponding action of prayer. Personally, I feel that this kind of prayer behavior is different everywhere, throwing sickles and scattering beans. Finally, a friend who keeps centipedes said that the day when centipedes lay eggs and give birth is from the summer solstice to beginning of autumn, so it is of great significance to release them at this time.
