This one was dead, so I was ok by unknowingly placing my foot next to it before I saw it. So here's the thing; this stylish and powerful looking bug is a powerhouse when it comes to its venom! Even though it is exceptionally rare, it CAN kill a human! YIKES!!!! They also can grow to as large as 12" (scholopendromorphs found in...guess where?......the DESERT!). They actually pinch you with their appendages instead of biting you. Either way....I'll am thankful this guy was deceased!
P.S. Notice how this one doesn't have 100 legs? That's because no centipede has exactly 100 due to never having an even number of them. They can also range in leg counts from having 30 legs to as many as 350!!
