I was reading a book and out of nowhere appeared a reference to "scolopendra gigantea" (commonly known as "amazonian giant centipede") and I was curious so I googled an image xd

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

The reason for my curiosity was the fact that the book was explaining that this species are, first of all, venomous and can reach over thirty-five centimeters. They are suposed to be very fast at both running and climbing.

These characteristics aren't very similar to the commonly known centipede so I was quite curious about this bug.

Isn't it the cuttest thing you've seen? xd
