I'm currently traveling around Colombia and visited los llanos (tropical grasslands) in Eastern Colombia. The area includes rivers with large areas of tall grasses spattered with chunks of forest.

July is very rainy and large areas flood. I found a small dead standing tree and peeled the dead bark off. I was surprised to find 10 large 4 - 8 inch scolopendra under the bark. I had never found a group of large centipedes together. Usually they are alone. They apparently gather here during the rainy season to avoid the rising waters. Most immediately fell to the ground and scurried away but I did film a couple.
