          Thank you for reminding me that Lemmy needs a “Fierce Flow” community, for men with long hair to celebrate their amazing locks.

    Centipedes are the absolute worst of the worst in terms of disturbing insects. I can’t even look at one without my brain vividly simulating the way all of those crispy little legs would feel clinging along the length of my arm.

        I saw a video once of a giant centipede devouring a live mouse, and it still fucks with me every time I think of it. I still remember that mouse’s eyes.

      🤓uhm ackhtually centipedes are not insects but are members of a different group of arthropods called Myriapods, along with everyone’s favorite detritivores the millipedes

      edit for additional infodumping: their venom injecting apparatuses are modified legs called forcipules or toxicognaths, and they are the only known animal with such features.

    Scolopendra subspinipes

    …the species is known by many common names, including jungle centipede, orange-legged centipede, Hawaiian centipede, and Vietnamese centipede.

    …it is also found on virtually all land areas around and within the Indian Ocean, all of tropical and subtropical Asia from Russia to the islands of Malaysia and Indonesia, Australia, South and Central America, the Caribbean islands, and possibly parts of the southern United States…

    I think it’s actually Scolopendra alternans because the one pictured has only 4 segments on it’s antennae, but subspinipes has many.

    Scolopendra alternans is a species group found in the whole Caribbean island and northern South America, with the Florida population reevaluated as a distinct species Scolopendra longipes.[1] They have also been reported as far north as Georgia.

      Depending on your definition of ‘bun’, the centipede could be the bun here.

      House centipedes are entirely harmless. I would be happy and honored to see one skittering around in my home. They eat harmful things.
