Red Headed Centipede -
Scolopendra subspinipes
Order:
Scolopendromorpha
Family:
Scolopendridae
Genus:
Scolopendra
Scolopendra subspinipes
is a species of
centipede
. The native range is uncertain. The certain natural range is
Meganesia
and
Indomalaya
. The species is also found on virtually all land areas around and within the
Indian Ocean
, all of Tropical and Subtropical
Asia
(including
Russia
),
South
and
Central America
, and the
Caribbean
. However, how much of this range is natural and how much due to human introduction is unclear.With such a wide geographic range, the species is known by a great many common names including Chinese Red Head, Giant Centipede, Jungle Centipede, Orange Legged Centipede, Red Headed Centipede and Vietnamese Centipede.
It is among the largest
centipedes
with a maximum length of 20 cm. They are active and aggressive, preying on almost everything that they can overwhelm.
It has colour variations. Its body is usually
red
or
reddish brown
with yellow or yellow-orange legs. In common with other members of genus
Scolopendra
, it has 21
body segments
with each segment having one pair of legs attached. A pair of modified legs known as forcipules can be found on its head, which is covered by a flat shield and bears a pair of antennae. The forcipules are the major tools used by the centipede to kill its prey or for defense, as they have sharp claws that connect to venom glands. Centipedes breathe through the openings located along sides of their bodies. These openings are either round-shaped or S-shaped. They have simple eyes with poor vision, so they rely much on touch and their
chemoreceptors
.
This is an aggressive and nervous arthropod which is ready to strike if interfered with and is sensitive to vibrations nearby. It preys primarily on
insects
or other predatory arthropods (like
spiders
), however, if it is large enough to overpower small
vertebrates
like
mice
or small
reptiles
, it will readily attempt to consume them as well. It tends to try to eat almost every living animal it encounters that is not longer than itself. It attacks its prey with the last prehensorial legs, then curves its head quickly behind to implant its venomous jaws deeply and firmly into the prey. The prey is held by the centipede's other legs until it dies from the fast-acting venom. During a fight, the centipede will use its entire body coiling the prey or enemy with its legs firmly attaching to the body of the opponent. Then, it will quickly penetrate its forcipules into the victim for venom injection.
The male produces capsules containing mature sperm cells,
spermatophores
, which are deposited in a reservoir called the
spermathecae
of the female during mating. The female then fertilizes her immature eggs,
oocytes
, and deposits them in a dark, protected area. The female lays 50 to 80 eggs which she vigilantly protects until they hatch and the baby centipede molt once. If danger is detected she will wrap around her babies to keep them safe. The young centipedes molt once each year, and take three to four years to attain full adult size. Adults molt once every year. They may live for 10 years or more.
S. subspinipes
is a popular pet among arthropod hobbyists.
The centipede was a traditional food source for
Aboriginal Australians
.
North American Millipede -
Narceus americanus
Class:
Diplopoda
Order:
Spirobolida
Family:
Spirobolidae
Genus:
Narceus
Species:
N. americanus
Narceus americanus
is a large North American millipede. It inhabits the eastern seaboard of North America west to Georgetown, Texas, north of the Ottine swamps. It has a nearly cylindrical gray body, reaching a length of 4 inches (100 mm). When threatened, they sometimes curl up or release a noxious liquid that contains large amounts of benzoquinones which can cause dermatological burns. This fluid may irritate eyes or skin. Many other millipedes secrete hydrogen cyanide, and while there have also been claims that
N. americanus
releases hydrogen cyanide, this is not true. They do however, excrete a substance that causes a temporary, non-harmful discoloration of the skin.
