Just so you know, anything taken from Costa Rica is likley smuggeled illegally. They're pretty stict about taking anything out, even scientists have a difficult time getting permission to collect specimens.

Not sure about what centipedes are there, but I saw some really fantastic polydesmid millipedes when I wasthere, 4" long with neon pink or blue on the sides. I also saw Megaphobema mesomelas!

If they have the proper permits, it may be no problem. I just doubt that CR would issue permits to anyone intending to sell.
