Native USA (Giant) Centipede PICTURE Thread

[arachnothing]

Im from SoCal, and have traveled penniless far and wide, so the threat and scumbaggery of wild dogs and wingnuts are second nature to me. Always up for adventure. Any chance you could PM the Rialto wasteland's general whereabouts to me. I promise not to pillage.

My 6.5 inch (excluding terminal legs and antennae) Texas redhead. Always hyperactive, a fruitcake at the very least.

 

[Ultum4Spiderz]

in real life it is like... 2mm long. the whole leg was only something like 5-7mm long iirc


i did have dead scorps and centipedes and stuff hanging in my front windows for a while at one apartment =P

i was trying to give the natives the impression i was something horrible so they would, you know, quit breaking into my joint

what are the 3-5 biggest species of pedes???you can catch in ohio? Sadly no big ones up here! Makes me wish i lived in south, awsome pics.

Castaniceps is in Ohio in the dry forests but this is not prime time of the year for pede catching. I have 52 centipedes right now total but I have 10 over 6" and they are up for grabs if I find people looking for pedes. If you are interested in one let me know and we will see what we can work out, I don't charge premiums so I'll hook you up good if you are interested. PM me if you are looking for a big pede for sale. Oh here's a pic of a 4" Alternans just to stick to the main subject of this thread.
