Hi all,
while responding to another centipede post i had a good idea (very possibly even though of already on here)...
Let us make a thread full of pictures of native USA centipedes! i would love to eventually see all ~70 or so species in here! Over time i will try to populate this thread with my own pics, but mainly i want to see what everyone else has out there!
Yes, i like heros and big tigers as much as the next pede lover... but i am also interested in the little giants! I would love to see pictures of Cryptops, Theatops, and all the other little weirdos we have
For reference i have seen and collected Theaptops, Scolopocryptops and Scolopendra in CA, to my certain knowledge. There is a small (heh) chance i have seen and possibly even collected Cryptops, but in no way have i really even ever thought that. I need to get into the swing of taking diagnostic pictures of all the little centipedes i collect to make sure one way or the other!
On other note: I do want this to be a thread mostly about Scolopendromorpha... but if you have pics of neat looking species from other orders, by all means, post them! I know i am I just don't want to bog the thread down with a high noise to signal ratio of "normal" looking stone centipede pictures =P
