Giant Centipede

Scolopendra viridis

Description:

It has blue legs and an orange body with a black line down its back.

Sandy area under an oak tree in a rural area

Notes:

My friend was gardening and found this in the leaf debris. He showed it to me to take some pictures. I released back where he found it and it quickly burrowed back into the debris.
