Kauai Pedeling

Don't know what species this is, but it was crawling up my leg on the beach yesterday. Overall length was about 1.25", so assuming it was a baby. Gorgeous blue head and legs, bright orange tail end. Wouldn't sit still for a photo shoot...
Scolopendra subspinipes; not only is that the main Scolopendra species in Hawaii, the peelings of S. subspinipes and its closest relatives (like S. mutilans) are distinctive.
