scolopendra

Scolopendra subspinipes has been reported as the apparent cause of a human death.

Adults also prey on large centipedes of the genus Scolopendra.

Scolopendra, venomous centipedes that can reach up to 25 centimetres long.

In short, it was a giant centipede, apparently of the scolopendra group, but of a form quite new to me.

There has been at least one reported death from the related centipede species Scolopendra subspinipes in which a young girl was bitten and died.

Bites from Scolopendra subspinipes are very painful and may cause severe swelling, weakness or fever.

Scolopendra subspinipes is a species of centipede.

The young feed primarily on large centipedes (Scolopendra spp.)

The genus Scolopendra contains these species:

In common with other members of genus Scolopendra, it has 21 body segments with each segment having one pair of legs attached.

Greater roadrunners can occasionally be seen, along with the giant red-headed centipede, Scolopendra polymorpha, which reaches lengths of 8 inches.

If they are caught, they can be extremely aggressive, especially towards other scorpions, predators such as meerkats and a particular type of centipede called Scolopendra.

'What's that' she asked and Raine laughed 'that's Scolopendra, she's a millipede, haven't you ever seen one before?'

The centipede species Scolopendra hardwickei is a specialized predator for stingless bee species like T. iridipennis.

The venoms of Scolopendra species contain compounds such as serotonin, haemolytic phospholipase A, a cardiotoxic protein, and a cytolysin.

It is possibly extinct due to habitat loss as well as predation by introduced rodents and an introduced centipede, Scolopendra morsitans.

Ssm6a is purified from the venom of the Chinese red-headed centipede, Scolopendra subspinipes mutilans, found in Southeast Asia.

The venom of Scolopendra gigantea is potent, containing acetylcholine, histamine and serotonin (pain mediators), proteases and a cardiodepressant factor.

We came across the odd scorpion and an immense creature called scolopendra gigantea, which resembles a giant earwig and is one of the largest insects in the world.

One study of scolopendromorphs records Scolopendra morsitans in a Nigerian savannah at a density of 0.16/m and a biomass of 140 mg/m wet weight.

Centipede Scolopendra abnormis is only found on this islet (where it is abundant) and the nearby Île Ronde, Mauritius.

Scolopendra was one of the genera created by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae, the starting point for zoological nomenclature.
