I keep seeing in social media the clear misidentification of centipedes as millipedes and vice versa.
I also see the clear misidentification of species. Scolopendra subspinipes is almost always identified as scolopendra dehaani and vice versa.
I also see animal abuse/cruelty. Take Natgeo for instance, they posted a video of a centipede running, it's 2 hind legs are clearly not working properly. Take another viral video from those Asian accounts, keeping scolopendra subspinipes and dehaani together and posting videos of them eating each other.
I also see posts about centipedes being purely carnivorous.
Rant over, ignorance frustrates me.
