Centipede ID and question.

[Maxorz]

Hello! I found this centipede under a rock at night, Merida, Yucatan, Mexico.

I still don't know much about centipedes, I'd say it looks like a Scolopendra, but I don't know.


Also, for my Ecology homework I'm doing a symbiosis project, and I was wondering if there's any interesting kind of symbiotic relationship which includes centipedes. Is there any? Thanks

It is not Scolopendra sp. May be otostigmus or rysida sp.

Wait for experts. Mexico is a very difficult country to ID pedes.

pretty much what carles said

It looks (superficially) like Rhysida celeris andina, but I'm certainly no expert.
