concept: a worm show. worm handlers very solemnly picking up a worm from a box and showing it off like people at cat shows. or maybe just like a bunch of tables with worms in cups like a plant show. I really want to see a little worm in a cup with a huge blue ribbon next to it
anyone else wake up at night with the sheets soaking wet and a freight train running through the middle of their head or is it just me and the guy that’s on fire?
some scolopendromorph highlights of the summer! centipedes are my favorite animals and I was so happy to have met all of these fine beasts
video and below is an unidentified Scolopendra species from Sarawak, Malaysia. a little light rain coaxed this 7” centipede out from hiding in the evening, and it swiftly crossed the path before disappearing into a stack of palm leaves.
also in Malaysia I found this deep purple Rhysida on the beach, in some driftwood! while it was above the tide line, I wonder how salt tolerant both species were given that the Scolopendra was only a dozen meters or so from the shore too.
I’m not sure what this little brown Singaporean otostigmine was, but it was both extremely fast and in very poor shape, missing most of its antennae and many legs.
a slender greenish Scolopendra from Singapore, seen scavenging on a dead cicada that some friends and I gifted it.
and the queen of Singapore’s chilopods: the so-called “lowland jewel,” a colorful and heavy-bodied Scolopendra that I was fortunate enough to encounter several times while there.
all wonderful animals but 0/5 described species, such is the state of centipede taxonomy
The good news that I'm finally in Egypt now with my youngest brother and the bad news is my mother and my other brother with his wife still in Rafah waiting to evacute to Egypt.
I feel so sad and depressed for leaving them i should stayed and get out together.
…so I tried pairing some house centipedes to observe their mating behavior, and picked a very large old male that must be 6 or 7 years old and a younger but very large female. everything seemed to be going well with the courtship dance but when the male tried to produce a spermatophore to offer it came out wonky and he fled the corner to hide. I found him dead today.. died of embarrassment I guess
rest in peace Old Moseley glad you got one last dance in even if it killed you (?)
