PICTURES: Genus Scolopendra

[kerensky]

Been some time since I last posted here ever since my S subspinipes which did not survive being viciously set upon by somebody at my workplace.

Anyway, I got a picture of two of my one year old S mutilans raping a praying mantis on my desk. The mantis got tagged by a lightning strike by one of my pede and succumbed to the venom pretty fast.

I had to probe the other pede out of it's hiding place to partake in the slaughter.

Enjoy

After seeing the awesome photography on this page, I am almost embarrassed to show these. My pedes have definitly proven difficult to photograph.

Scolopendra gigantea The black tips and broken of legs are the result of badly designed ventilation. The scale on the last photo is in centimeters.

Beautiful centipede, and incredible photos! :clap: That lovely brick red contrasting with the yellow legs is what really gets me with this species. :drool:

. . . Too bad I live in the US.

sticky this already

There really is no reason why this shouldn't be turned into a sticky out of shear appreciation value alone. Most of these pictures are gorgeous!

 

[Ms. Peaches]

Photography skills shown in this thread are amazing. I am still considering getting in to these soon...so I check this forum from time to time admire the pics and reading what information I see.

My first pictures on this thread. My Scolopendra heros arizonensias is my crown jewel of my centi collection so it's only fitting that she's the first one I post
