Indonesian Borneo Centipede
Dear Whats that bug,
Thought you might like this one 🙂 The jaws were quite formidable on this centipede and it later managed to bite the Indonesian field staff member that is currently holding it. Despite sucking out most of the poison his thumb still swelled up quite a bit.
All the best,
Norman
