@darklinespectra submitted: Hi! I'd like to share this little guy, it was only about an inch or so long. Is it a baby Scolopendra? Found in Hawaii :)

Ohhhh tiny and precious. I'm not great at IDing juvenile centipedes but it looks like Scolopendra subspinipes to me!

hi I saw your tags on the pain pill and I just wanted to drop in and say that I once worked in an arachnid lab with over a thousand tarantulas in it annd the Scolopendra subspinipes is the only thing I was ever scared of. Including the Orange Bitey Things and the occasional black widow and that one adult tarantula that got loose while no one was there and we had to track her down. I think I had a point when I started typing but I've lost it. Happy Tuesday?

you are so right to be scared they’re terrifying my uncle had to saw it in half with a knife to get it to die. the way i was bit is i slept on a mattress on the floor of a clean and well-swept shed that had been infested with them two days prior but everyone thought they had all been killed by the pest guy. i dreamed i was putting my finger into a very spiky flower and then the flower bit me and crawled under my shirt and bit me on my side again and slithered away and i spent the entire night twitching and thinking my hand was going to fall off it it took like four days for it to stop hurting completely but i was obsessed with it i felt truly honored also terrified i couldn’t walk in the grass around the shed barefoot after that i kept getting an adrenaline rush from just empty leaves brushing against me it was incredible i did not experience any necrosis i was very lucky and Im sorry that it died . that was over a year ago and it was such a beautiful experience. a lot of other kinds and sources of pain hurt much less, but we suffer in it more i think, its less about the intensity nerve sensation and more how it is related to us in a context of what it means to be injured or to feel incapacitated or broken in that way. the centipede didn’t really attack my sense of self in my experience. i also knew exactly how i was bit, what bit me, approximately how long it would hurt, and that i would probably be fine and experience complete recovery in the next few days and i did. but then again it’s been a year maybe i forgot how it was i had a very strong narrative of being enchanted by them at the same time. anyway i don’t know what my point was either💌 i think im more scared of spiders! 🕷️happy tuesday

ppl all like ‘giratina is clearly based off the serpent in the garden of e.den because obviously s.atan is the only mythological evil serpentine creature EVER’ and like, sure, think that all you want if you want to be boring and stick to a single mostly western viewpoint but maybe instead consider: the Ōmukade, a mythical monstrous version of the real mukade (Scolopendra Subspinipes, typically). it’s big and violent and has a habit of personally antagonizing dragons. (of which type palkia and dialga are, for example! (: makes the twist at the end of PL:A make even more sense, imo. what better way to drive those ancient divine dragons into a frenzy than team up with a giant angry centipede to torment them?)

my understanding from what admittedly very brief research I’ve done, Ōmukade and mukade themselves represent impurity, decay, death, etc etc. very much the same way giratina is meant to be the opposite of the ‘pure’ arceus, who’s associated with creation and life.

even the colors are very similar!!!! it has a black body, gold legs, and red head. all those colors are there in Giratina’s design. the gold crescents on giratina even resemble the centipede’s legs! giratina’s stripes could resemble the centipede’s segmented body as well, if you squint. as for shiny giratina’s coloring... I’m not entirely certain what that’s all about, but it does kind of remind me of Scolopendra Morsitans? If only for the bright yellow and teal coloration they can have.

under the cut are photos of the real buggies in question so if you are the slightest bit squeamish of crawlies please do not click through

Idk if this was what he's based off of but Vanja is so Pink dragon millipede pilled.... love those lil guys too hehe

I LOVE PINK DRAGON MILLIPEDES however i am sad to announce he is not based off those ones boss. his color scheme is mainly based off scolopendra subspinipes, in particular the morphs that are mainly black with red legs such as this one

tell me a cool gaming fact

FINALLY SOMEONE ASKED ME

I CAN FULFILL MY PURPOSE HAHAHAHAHAHA

...so um

DID YOU KNOW:

In Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, the centipedes that can be seen in the passageway of the Old House are not Scolopendra heros(Giant Redheaded Centipedes) which are native to Louisiana(the location the game takes place in) but Scolopendra subspinipes japonica(Japanese Mukade)

They can also be seen in End of Zoe DLC

Someone’s selling caribena versicolor (type of tarantula) for $90 and scolopendra subspinipes (type of centipede) for $60. I got mine for $45 and $25. Is this invertebrate inflation or did I just get reallyyyy lucky

[crevicedwelling]

last attention I’m willing to give this today:

“invasive species” is not exclusive of animals that you like and want to keep alive. I love giant centipedes, and keep them as wonderful pets, but Scolopendra subspinipes are eating lizards to extinction on Christmas Island and probably many others. if I could find a solution to the problem that involves killing centipedes to get rid of them there permanently, I would.

brown tree snakes, green iguanas, northern snakeheads, spotted lanternflies, domestic cats and pigs and horses—you can’t pick and choose who among invasives you want to allow to continue to destroy ecosystems they’re not native to. cats have eaten dozens of species to extinction and continue to devour billions of wild animals yearly, and receive help from humans to do so! I have no hatred for cats; they can’t know what they’re doing. this is a problem humans caused and it is a problem we can only fix ourselves.

[exitwound]

hey what do you mean you had to seek medical attention bc of a centipede? my curiosity is eating me alive sorry pleaee and thank you

oh it was like a foot long venemous one scolopendra subspinipes and it bit me thrice in my sleep and the bites are severely painful and caused my hand to swell and i was like having little seizures? like not really but i just kept jolting and twitching. So it was weird and had i not been staying with my uncle who is a doctor i would have probably gone to the er because i didn’t know what the fuck stung me (we only found the centipede later) I am obviously not from the area where these centipedes live haha

Des mille-pattes aveugles perçoivent la lumière

See on Scoop.it - EntomoNews

Il s’agit du scolopendre de Chine à tête rouge, une espèce qui vit dans l’obscurité, sous les feuilles mortes et dont le venin peut tuer une souris en moins de 30 secondes. Ils détectent leur proie grâce aux vibrations du sol car ils n’ont pas d’yeux.

  Des millepattes aveugles parviennent à détecter la lumière

Comment parviennent-ils à rester tapis dans l’ombre, s’ils ne sont pas capables de voir la lumière ? Une étude publiée dans la revue PNAS apporte une réponse : leur système de vision se trouve au bout de leurs antennes. En analysant avec une caméra thermique les allers et venues de ces scolopendres entre une chambre sombre et une lumineuse, ces scientifiques ont remarqué une augmentation de température de 10°C au bout de leurs antennes lorsqu’ils étaient sous une lampe et ceci en moins de 10 secondes. Et ils ont découvert la présence d’un récepteur sensible à la chaleur. La lumière, en chauffant le bout des antennes, signalent donc à l’animal sa présence. Les auteurs vont tenter d’étudier le même phénomène chez d’autres arthropodes sans système de vision.
