"THE GIANT CENTIPEDE CLUB"
There will be different opinions, reports of owing something big, rumors of seeing something big and of course the fisherman tall-tales of adding a few inches to something that was seen, BUT post the pics with a ruler if you want it to be included in the "giant centipede club".
Rules of the club:
• List the centipede by scientific name accurately and list the common names it goes by.
• Centipede pic must be of good quality with a ruler next to the pede.
•*Measurement should be from the end of the head antenna extended along the body extended to the end of the tail legs extended.
• ONLY post centipede pics (or link to a photo gallery) that shows a centipede over 8.75" in length with the measurement standard above.
===============================================
My first entry:
Scolopendra gigantea "white-legged morph", ("Peruvian Giant", "Amazon Giant", "Goliath Centipede")
adult female 13"
(measured from the end of the head antenna extended along the body extended to the end of the tail legs extended)
