[Scorpfanatic]

hi guys need ID of this one here.. the body has a reflective tone of purple.

some feedingpics. the first time i see this pede of mine took suck a big prey..

 

[cacoseraph]

beautiful!!!

to ID we (well, not me, i am not good at anything but USA cents) would need to know the location the centipede came from

 

[Scorp guy]

and we also need the pix of the terminators if i remember right, nice pede anyway :clap:

ah yes, good point

 

[BugBoyX]

Hmmmm...I'll put in a guess of S. morsitans...looks about the right size, colour, ect.

 

[Scorpfanatic]

island off southern part of SIngapore , ard 6cm, redish head , purple tone body and bluish legs and tails, wats the TErminal? im sorry im not very good in pedes description? where is it so i can take photo for you guys,?:?

 

[Scorp guy]

terminators=the very back legs, the huge ones that stick out it wouldnt be an S. morsitans because of his location, singapore? haha maybe some...giant stone centipede? get some pix, caco should help with the rest

 

[Steven]

my guess would be Otostigmus scaber on the first one,...
Sc.subsp.mutials on the second.
judging on locations and overall look,... which isn't very reliable !!!!


second one is impossible to ID with this pictures,...
maybe it's in the genus Scolopendra juding on spiracle shape ?

what we need:
- pictures of the side of the 1st one (to see the spiracle arrangement)
- close-up of the heads of both (headplate and 1st tergite)
that could give some info on the genus

- pictures of the ventral spine-arrangement of the ultimate legs of the second one,...
that could give more info regarding the specie of that one.

PS:Scorp_Lver
why do ya delete the possibility of Sc.morsitans from Signapore ?

 

[Scorpfanatic]

yup will do jus that and i guess i will post picture of 3 more pedes that i need positive IDs wat picture do you need to get positive ID? like wat steven has said? head shot with first plates, tail shots, side body shots? wat else? i have another 3 more pedes wanting for ID , :? all local.

i told u a month ago..............it's O.scaber

Hey Steven
u notice the stripes on the last few pair of legs of that Sc.sub. ssp? those look pretty familiar, isn't it?
i still don't think they(the brown head ones) are mutilans, but another variant or subsps of subspinipes

Hey Randolph,

yes, those look familiar,... but never judge on "looks"

caco can only do United States centipedes and it is mostly through location data

 

[Scorpfanatic]

ok the first i have ID it as Otostigmus scaber

heres two pedes thats unknown, the first on ehere is more greenish then the other,

and this is the second one

wonder wat they are ... both WC in SIngapore

 

[cacoseraph]

can you get a pic of the underside of the last legs?

i should have said that before, sorry, i'm a bit of an idiot

again, not that i can do anything to help you.... but it's what the real centipede brains would ask for

they are looking at the spines/spikes

 

[Scorpfanatic]

they do have spikes, are they different in different species?you can see it in the 5th picture

 

[swatc1h]

WOW!!! That last three pictures looks quite like Cents i got from Krazy8. But tail-tip getting to were its turning blue/green. Red Head Green Leg Centipede (Scolopendra sp.)

 

[Drachenjager]

what kinda pede

I caught this in my yard, its pretty red and about 1 1/2" long

east Texas by the way

the count and placement of spikes is different in a lot of species and is the easiest way to tell some species and subspecies apart

if it has 15 legpairs, which it looks like it does then it is some kinda stone centipede. these make groovy little pets and actually live multiple years. they will scav so you can throw a piece of a larger cricket in there and it will be more than happy. they dry out really easy though so watch out

 

[dirtborder4life]

pede id

^^^Ditto. Looks like a stone centipede to me
