  1. Cryptops sp. in the process of moulting. The large rear (ultimate) legs can apparently be jettisoned (autotomized) to confuse predators. Eyeless. Swarthmore, PA, USA. #centipede #nature #chilopoda #ecdysis #moulting #arthropod

  2. Was going to add the hashtag "InsectSaturday" until I remembered: myriapods aren't insects! Also, now it's Sunday here.

    Anyway, here's my pet house centipede having a bit of homemade peach syrup on a Q-tip. Do try this at home!
