There may be people who like centipedes. I have seen people handling tarantulas and scorpions, but never a centipede handler. I would regard such a person with deep suspicion...Now what sort of man or woman or monster would stroke a centipede on its underbelly "And here is my big good centipede." If such a man exists, I say kill him without more ado. He is a traitor to the human race.

I vote polymorpha. In my experience S. viridis have much more defined ridges on the tergites, and shorter more 'stubby' terminal legs.

Hi,

i'd go for hemiscolopendra marginata.
Nevertheless if you want to be sure you can check all legs:
If you don't find tarsal spines, then you can be sure. Wink
