You aint kidding.. HUNGry
~~...the species is known by many common names, including jungle centipede, orange-legged centipede, Hawaiian centipede, and Vietnamese centipede.~~
~~...it is also found on virtually all land areas around and within the Indian Ocean, all of tropical and subtropical Asia from Russia to the islands of Malaysia and Indonesia, Australia, South and Central America, the Caribbean islands, and possibly parts of the southern United States...~~
I think it's actually Scolopendra alternans because the one pictured has only 4 segments on it's antennae, but subspinipes has many.
Scolopendra alternans is a species group found in the whole Caribbean island and northern South America, with the Florida population reevaluated as a distinct species Scolopendra longipes.[1] They have also been reported as far north as Georgia.
That's not centipede, I counted only 17x2=34 legs! Its thirtyfour-pede
Well, to be fair, a centurion commanded les than one hundred people..
And no such century lasted for a century either.
Looks like a dick with a toupe
ur a dick with a toupe
No I'm a dick with a full head of flowing lovely hair
Hmm... very mammalian.
Thank you for reminding me that Lemmy needs a "Fierce Flow" community, for men with long hair to celebrate their amazing locks.
Centipedes are the absolute worst of the worst in terms of disturbing insects. I can't even look at one without my brain vividly simulating the way all of those crispy little legs would feel clinging along the length of my arm.
Imagine how theyβd all feel making purchase on your soft throat tissue as it forces its way down your throat
I saw a video once of a giant centipede devouring a live mouse, and it still fucks with me every time I think of it. I still remember that mouse's eyes.
Like the stretched limo of a beetle. But also with the most horriblist type of spider legs
A wild false eyelash appears
House centipedes are entirely harmless. I would be happy and honored to see one skittering around in my home. They eat harmful things.
Knowledgeable identification of an ~~insect~~ arthropod from the photo with cited reasoning: nice.
Dick joke : 4x the upvotes.
Not a clue.... But it is his hotdog/sossage/wiener now.
A deadipede if I ever see one
noooo it just wants to fertilize your hotdogs it didn't do anything wrong
For a second I thought this said "Hotdog for Sale".
No, I would not purchase it.
I do understand why they want to sell it thought.
That's a scalopendra, very venomous.
Dude I remember visiting the Caribbean, a car ran over one of these lengthwise and it was badly injured but alive.
Where the what the fuck??m
The car was alive?
Yes. Haven't you read Stephen king's From a Buick 8?
The kind that killed an idiot mukbang streamer in China.
Not my proudest fap.
Wow I sure don't like that:(
No, hot dog for centipede. It can fucking have it.
That's an exotic condiment
