Very nice centipedes! I am unsure the IDs for most. The first may be scolopendra morsitans though.

Yah. Thank you a lot.

 

[NYAN]

Yah. Thank you a lot.

I’ll let others chime in. I’m less experienced in identifying non North American Pedes. @Staehilomyces knows a lot and maybe can help.

Did you catch these or know where they were caught? It might help ID.

Another Ole mortisans boy but he’s a dark form
Idk the last one. Too small to fully ID. More pics could help.

Is it possible the last one isn’t even scolopendra genus?

Yeah. That’s what I was thinking. Otostigmus species or rhysida. Something in that little area.

Maybe. It doesn’t look scolopendra to me though. I agree with your other IDs

Thank all of you guys for helping me. Btw how can we tell it's a male or female one?

You will need to render the pede unconscious and evert it’s sexual organs. This can be done via submersion under cold water or co2. To expose the sexual organs you need to press on the last couple of segments. Take a picture once you do that so you can see if there is a spinning organ or not. Males have spinning organs.

I think i won't take a chance to knock 'em out. A little bit too much can cost their life and i don't wanna get tagged either :v

Nice variety of interesting species.

Scolopendra morsitans can be sexed looking at the terminal legs. Males have ridges which females lack.
Also, the last one looks like another morsitans to me, but don't count on it. I see a slight overlap with the cephalic plate.

Thank you for your information. These last guys are S.Morsitans green leg acording to my friend who caught them.
Do you have any photo of male and female Morsitans? As an example

How about this little boi guys?

Scolopendra dehaani “black flame leg.” Thats one I wouldn’t recommend touching. Dehaani bites are no joke.
