Centipede with Eggs

Post by soulsurvivor »

A couple weeks ago, I flipped a log in the woods by my house and discovered 2 large centipedes with eggs. Yesterday I rechecked the log and there are now 4 centipedes with eggs under it. Here's my best cell phone shot of the largest one.

Not my thing, but I thought some of you might enjoy seeing it! :beer:

I found that once in California. I had no idea the female stayed with the eggs until then. They creep me out but it is still a cool thing to see!

I agree. Really creepy to see them clutching eggs like that, but still pretty interesting!
