Viridicornis vs. Galapagoensis

[Steven]

The one that is supposed to be viridicornis actually looks like one i've seen somewhere else. It was listed as something different.

and because it looks like,.. it is another spec. ?

that's not what i was saying. I wasn't questioning your knowledge of these things cuz i don't know too much about them. I've just seen so many of these scolopendra species mislabeled. Just like that viridicornis pictures, somewhere else it (i think) was called tiger something. I don't know what either one clearly looks like. Is the first picture viridicornis?

ooh testy!! heh heh I had a question.. does the first 'pede have more eyes than the second one? the first look slike a cluster of 3 or 4 and the second looks like it has a sinlge eye.. and my pede only has a single eye as well.. info??

Interesting question! Buth the picture of the viridicornis is taken from another angle. That's why you can see 4 eyes and in the picture of the galapagoensis just 2 (I see 2 eyes).

seen this video?

Im a newbie here but has anyone seen this video of scolopendra viridicornis eating and killing a mouse. This thing is a monster. Looks similiar to the picture of the giant black one sitting on the guys hand.
