Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated Tunjung Seto!
Yes he curled pressing her eggs until they hatch.
And usually when incubating eggs centipedes will not memmakan prey, only to kill prey approaching.
Is this Centipede curled around its eggs? Is that how they incubate them?
