#centipedes — Public Fediverse posts

A Giant Centipede (genus Scolopendra) spotted at Rifle Range Nature Park, Singapore on 19 Oct 2025. I was examining this dropping on a railing when it popped out and gave me a fright. I usually look before I use railings for support in forest walks for a reason.

Finally, a #centipede!

People are scared when one of these fellows runs across the floor. However I think they're fascinating. This one here is a smaller species, but its relative, the Mediterraenean banded centipede, can grow to lengths up to ~18 centimetres.

I'm writing some new gags on #centipedes.

I just saw the first house centipede of the year in the family room. Next up: wolf spiders in the garage.

fucking huge desert centipede scared the absolute piss out of me today. went to refill my bearded dragon's water bowl to see this creature underneath, jazz handing all over the place at mach speed. managed to get it into a container.

looks like it got my bearded dragon, though - I was wondering why he was so lethargic yesterday, I hope he is ok. I have a huge appreciation for all arthropods but this got my heart racing faster than anything. #centipedes

Here in New Zealand we have the hura, NZ giant centipede, Cormalocephalus rubriceps. It can grow to over 25 cm long and is known to eat small reptiles and amphibians as well as invertebrates. The largest individuals of hura are now only on offshore islands, as those on the mainland tend to get eaten by rats before they can reach gigantic size.

The related Phillip Island centipedes (Cormocephalus coynei), from the Norfolk Island group, have been calculated to eat up to 3,700 seabird chicks each year. (!!)

The journal Frontiers in Ecology & Evolution has an article out reviewing cases of centipede predation of vertebrates, "documenting centipede predation on amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, and occasionally fish".

"Our synthesis highlights the underappreciated role of scolopendrid centipedes as mid-level predators capable of influencing small vertebrate populations"
