Scutigeromorpha
large centipede, maybe the cave centipede, possibly a species of Scutigera or Thereupoda.
tropical rainforest
I spotted this on a nighthike in Tawau hills park.
One thing fore sure, it is not a Scutigera coleoptrata.
We really need to find a reliable scientific source to get diagnosis for the all the Scutigeromorpha genera.
Thanks, Chun. In this case I would suggest Scutigeromorpha as scientific name with Scutigera and Thereupoda as possible genus candidate. I am now even more sceptic about all these IDs in my links. Would that be a good compromise?
Chun, is the second "+" from you ;-)...??
Do you agree with Scutigera sp.? I was not that sure about the reliability of the IDs in the links I provided.
In Borneo we call them Cave Centipedes because they are not found in houses but common in caves :-)
Looks like being a Scutigera sp.
