Id species help

[AssemblyMxrc]

So, I caught this centipede (7cm) yesterday, not sure if it’s a baby scolopendra subspinipes or otmostigmus, any help in identification would be greatly appreciated!

looks like malaysian jewel bc of the blue back legs and the red front legs, and your locality points to that

Thanks! That’s what I thought when I first caught it, thought was another species as it doesn’t look robust/thick

Yes it does look a lot like a Malaysian jewel , and from your location it might well be it...usually legs are all red in adults...but if it is, your specimen seen the size is definitely a little more than a pedeling and the legs colour could change with a molt or two.

I think thats only for a certain morph. I know that (most if not all) of the adult stock in the US are blue legged at the front and back, with the middle red. I have, however, seen a pic of a full red legged jewel caught in singapore i believe.

This individual that’s you have is supposedly the same as S. subspinipes. It isn’t the same thing that is found in Malaysia, though, supposedly
