Another Israeli centipede, similar to the last one I found, though a little bigger (but same overal length). Also more darker colored. Blue-ish legs, orange back and front but much less pronounced then the other centipede I found. Ignore the red bug chilling next to it.

That somehow doesn't sound affordable :P Awesome! I should probably invest in a real camera, phones are decent but nowhere near good enough for amazing quality pictures

Damn, what camera do you guys use to make those kind of pictures?

@Scoly Thanks for the info and those pictures, yea it seems vitally important to have them in a dry place. I moved mine in a small container (for the time being, don't have any other place to put him) and kept it as dry as I could, but a day later I now looked at him at it's barely moving, and...

Thank you! That was really helpful, I'll try to move it to a dry place and see if it gets cured of it's mycosis. By the way what is the difference between Scolopendra morsitans and Scolopendra mirabilis ? When I search for either one, they're seemingly both mixed up / the same? Both are called...

Thanks, yea I'm also unsure if they need to be kept wet, considering here in Israel it barely rains (only in the winter) and it can get really dry .. yet these guys seem to do fine. Maybe they only need a certain amount of moisture. Collected / found it myself here, it's been raining here the...

@Scoly Interesting, on my topic they told me it could perhaps also be a younger cingulata (or mirabilis). How can you tell it has mycosis? Good to know, I should move it somewhere dry then

The "maxillipeds which are basically modified legs" (Thanks Greasylake). I figured those were similar to stingers, not mouth parts. My bad! I'm new to centipedes. I'm bad at measuring, but I think about 10cm / 4 inch.

Right, venomous. Somehow I always mix those two up. Also since they have two stingers (well pointy things/ legs) I'd figure it would be called a sting, not bite (they don't use their mouth parts)? Also Scolopendra mirabilis does seem like a match, especially with the leg color. What are...

Hey, found this centipede here in Israel and really curious what it could be exactly. Some nice colors (orange) on front and back, relatively small I think (or medium size, I've seen bigger ones around here). The most common one here is Scolopendra cingulata, thinking perhaps its this...
